EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Intenti alla pesca" (Busy with Fishing) transports us back to Italy in the 1950s or 1960s. The image captures a group of young boys, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, as they gather on a pier by the river for a day of fishing. The composition of the photograph is striking, showcasing both the naval and river elements that were essential for transportation during that time. The structure and architecture surrounding them add depth to the scene, reminding us of the historical significance of this location. The children's clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era, with each boy wearing trousers and shirts suitable for an adventurous day by the sea. Their individuality shines through as they lean against a railing, eagerly discussing their strategies for catching fish. This photo not only captures a moment in time but also offers insights into physiological and psychological aspects. It portrays childhood innocence and curiosity while highlighting how activities like fishing can shape one's character at such an early age. As we gaze upon this seascape landscape, we are reminded of our own childhood memories spent near water bodies – whether it be rivers or oceans – where nature's beauty intertwines with human experiences. Villani Achille has skillfully captured these emotions in his work. Alinari presents this print without any commercial intent; instead, it serves as a window into history – allowing us to reflect on simpler times when children found joy in simple pleasures like fishing together on sunny days.
