EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Aurelio Monteverde, we are transported back in time to the year 1899 in Monreale, Italy. The image showcases a group of men accompanied by a young child as they confidently stride along the newly laid tram line on via Palermo. The composition is filled with intriguing elements that offer glimpses into the past. The architecture of the surrounding houses stands tall and proud, reflecting the style of that era. The men's attire exudes sophistication and elegance, with their bowler hats perched atop their heads and fashionable clothing adorning their frames. One cannot help but be drawn to the child in this scene, who appears both curious and excited about his surroundings. His presence adds an endearing touch to an otherwise ordinary street scene. As our eyes follow the group's path along the rails, we notice an array of objects scattered throughout. A variety of headdresses can be seen - civilian, military, religious - showcasing diversity within society at that time. An umbrella held tightly suggests protection from potential rain or scorching sun rays. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into daily life during this period. It allows us to imagine what it was like for these individuals as they navigated through bustling streets amidst progress and change. Monteverde's skillful eye has immortalized this fleeting moment forever on film, reminding us of how photography can transport us across centuries while preserving history for generations to come.
