This photograph transports us to the enchanting region of Tuscany, where a mesmerizing bas-relief adorns the facade of a majestic building. The focal point of this architectural masterpiece is an intricately crafted sculpture depicting horses in motion, their graceful forms emerging from the stone with remarkable detail. The bas-relief, captured by the talented photographer Balocchi Vincenzo in September 1961, showcases the skillful artistry that has long been associated with Italian craftsmanship. Each horse seems to come alive as it gallops across the surface of the building's exterior, evoking a sense of power and elegance. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we are drawn to examine every element meticulously carved into this low relief work. The texture and depth created by these sculpted figures create a visual feast for our eyes.
