EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Group of skiers at Abetone" transports us back to a winter wonderland in 1926. Taken by the talented photographer Aurelio Monteverde, this image captures a moment frozen in time. In the foreground, we see a diverse group of skiers, their faces full of excitement and anticipation. Among them are both men and women, defying societal norms of the era. The presence of female skiers is particularly noteworthy as it reflects the growing empowerment and independence of women during that period. The setting is Abetone, an enchanting ski resort nestled amidst snow-covered mountains. The scene exudes a sense of camaraderie as these adventurous individuals gather together to enjoy their shared passion for skiing. Their stylish winter attire adds charm to the composition while also reflecting the fashion trends prevalent during that time. An automobile parked on the road nearby hints at how transportation has evolved over time – from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles – enabling people to reach such remote destinations more easily than ever before. Monteverde's skillful use of light and shadow creates depth within this portrait-like photograph. It not only captures individual expressions but also conveys a collective spirit among these skiers who have come together through their love for this exhilarating sport. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari today, we are reminded not only of our rich history but also how much society has progressed since then. This image serves as a testament to human resilience and determination even in challenging times like those faced nearly a century ago. Let us cherish this snapshot from another era – an emblematic representation capturing both personal joy and societal shifts – forever preserved through Monteverde's lens.
