EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cattle Fair in Castrogiovanni (Enna today)" transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of early 20th century Italy. Taken on May 16,1909, by the talented photographer Aurelio Monteverde, this print captures a momentous event that took place in Enna. The image showcases a bustling cattle fair set against a picturesque countryside backdrop. The vast farmland stretches as far as the eye can see, with rolling hills and lush green fields creating an idyllic setting. In the foreground, we observe a diverse group of individuals engaged in various activities. Among them are farmers tending to their livestock while others negotiate deals or exchange goods. A man dressed in traditional attire stands prominently at the center of the frame, holding what appears to be a gun or instrument used for hunting. His confident stance exudes authority and expertise. As our gaze wanders through this lively scene, we notice other intriguing details: men wearing hats adorned with feathers or wide brims; objects such as canes and staffs adding character to their owners' presence; women clad in vibrant dresses observing from afar with curiosity. Monteverde's expert composition skillfully captures both individual portraits and panoramic views of this vibrant gathering. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only the people but also their way of life during that era – one deeply connected to nature and agriculture. This remarkable print from Alinari is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it serves as a window into history itself. It allows us to witness firsthand how communities came together at these fairs – not merely for commerce but also for socializing and celebrating their shared heritage amidst breathtaking Italian landscapes.
