EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-000121-0001" we are transported back in time to the early 20th century, specifically around 1910. The image beautifully captures the picturesque beach of Nettuno, nestled at the foot of the city walls. Renowned photographer Ettore Angeli skillfully portrays a scene that seamlessly blends elements of bathing, structure, architecture, military and defensive features, as well as an urban landscape. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the stunning coastline with its sandy shores stretching out into the horizon. The tranquil seascape serves as a backdrop for various activities and pastimes taking place along the shore. Families and friends can be seen engaging in playful games or simply enjoying leisurely moments by the water's edge. What makes this image particularly intriguing is how it juxtaposes nature with man-made structures. The imposing city walls loom over the beach, serving as a reminder of Nettuno's rich history and strategic importance from a military standpoint. This fusion between architectural marvels and natural beauty creates an enchanting visual contrast that captivates viewers. Ettore Angeli's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the scenic beauty but also highlights objects scattered across the landscape – perhaps remnants of seaside adventures or everyday life during that era. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece captured by Angeli through his lens, we cannot help but feel transported to another era; one where simplicity met grandeur against a breathtaking coastal backdrop. It reminds us how photography has always been able to freeze moments in time so future generations may relish them forevermore.
