EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-149486-0000" takes us back in time to the 1930s or 1940s, capturing an intriguing scene from Giovanni Berta Elementary School in Lecco. The image showcases a classroom adorned with various teaching aids, providing a glimpse into the educational structure and architecture of that era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the prominent blackboard at the front of the room. On it, bold words are inscribed: "Duce we will bring the Fascist School on the Plan of the Empire". This powerful message reflects an important historical context surrounding education during this period. Amidst this politically charged backdrop, other elements come into focus. We see students' desks neatly arranged in rows, each equipped with a slate and writing instruments - symbols of their eager pursuit of knowledge. The geography lesson is enhanced by a large geographical or topographical map hanging proudly on one wall – an instrument that undoubtedly broadened young minds. The composition also reveals wooden benches and counters lining both sides of the classroom – sturdy structures where students would gather for group activities or discussions. These objects not only served as functional pieces but also contributed to creating an atmosphere conducive to learning. Photographed by Valsecchi D. , this remarkable snapshot offers us a unique window into elementary school life many decades ago. It reminds us how communication was facilitated through written words on chalkboards and how education played a crucial role in shaping young minds within society's broader framework.
