EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-A-004659-0014" we are transported back in time to the Tivoli Gardens in Florence during the years 1871-1874. The image captures a bustling scene of Chinese target practice, housed under an impressive and grand tent. Standing proudly in front of the tent are two carabinieri, adorned in their distinguished uniforms, exuding authority and strength. They are joined by a ticket seller and a supervisor, who both strike poses with confidence and professionalism. Together, they create a fascinating tableau against the backdrop of this magnificent structure. The awning itself is a movable architectural marvel that dominates the frame. Its intricate design showcases skilled craftsmanship while providing shelter for those engaging in various games and pastimes within its confines. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. This photograph not only captures an intriguing moment but also offers glimpses into different aspects of life during that era. The presence of military personnel hints at societal norms and perhaps even political significance tied to such gatherings. Furthermore, it provides us with insights into fashion trends prevalent at the time – from the meticulously tailored uniforms worn by the carabinieri to the attire chosen by everyday individuals like ticket sellers. While we may never know who exactly captured this remarkable scene or why it was taken, thanks to Alinari's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate its historical value today. This print serves as a window into another time - one filled with vibrant activity, striking architecture, dedicated workers fulfilling their vocations, all encapsulated within this single mesmerizing image.
