EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless piece of history, the Celerifero from 1795. Housed in the esteemed Galbiati di Brughiero collection and showcased at the renowned exhibition "Man on two wheels" this remarkable artifact takes us back to an era when bicycles were still in their infancy. The image transports us to a bygone time, where games and pastimes revolved around simpler pleasures. The Celerifero stands proudly as a testament to human ingenuity, showcasing its elegant design and innovative construction. Its wooden frame exudes craftsmanship, while its large front wheel hints at the challenges faced by early riders. Set against a backdrop that evokes scenes of travel and exploration, we can almost imagine ourselves embarking on an adventure along dusty roads or traversing picturesque landscapes. This scene not only showcases a method of transportation but also invites contemplation about our own journeys through life. Graziella Pellicci's expert eye has beautifully captured every intricate detail of this historical gem. Her composition highlights both the delicate intricacies of the Celerifero itself and its significance within broader transportation history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that progress is built upon humble beginnings. From looms to wheels, humanity has always sought ways to make life more efficient and enjoyable. The Celerifero serves as a symbol of innovation—a precursor to modern-day bicycles that have become integral parts of our lives today. Pellicci's masterful photography allows us to appreciate not just the object itself but also its cultural importance throughout centuries past. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary objects can hold extraordinary stories waiting for those who take notice.
