EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chianti. Fattoria di Brolio. Millstones for olives" takes us back in time to the early 1900s in the picturesque region of Siena, Italy. The image captures a scene at the Fattoria di Brolio, an enchanting countryside estate known for its olive oil production. In this snapshot of rural life, we are transported to an ancient oil mill where two massive millstones stand as silent witnesses to centuries of tradition and hard work. These imposing stone wheels were once used to crush olives into precious liquid gold – olive oil. Surrounded by rustic furnishings and elements typical of civic spaces during that era, one can almost feel the authenticity and charm emanating from this place. A straw basket sits nearby, perhaps waiting to be filled with freshly harvested olives or other agricultural treasures. A peasant dressed in traditional clothing becomes the focal point of this composition. Wearing a hat or headdress that signifies their role within society – whether civilian, military or religious – this individual represents not only themselves but also embodies the spirit of those who dedicated their lives to farming and country living. The portrait offers a glimpse into a bygone era when manual labor was essential for survival. It reminds us of the significance placed on agriculture as both a vocation and way of life. As we admire Alinari's skillful capture through his lens, it is impossible not to appreciate how these simple objects - millstones - played such an integral part in shaping Chianti's rich history and cultural heritage. With every detail carefully preserved by Alinari's artistry, this print serves as a timeless reminder of our connection with nature's bounty and pays homage to those who labored tirelessly behind each drop of golden olive oil produced at Fattoria di Brolio.
