EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sestriere's main square, a picturesque Alpine town developed by the renowned Agnelli family in the early 20th century. Standing proudly at its center is the magnificent parish Church of S. Edoardo, an architectural gem designed in Neo-Romanesque style by Giovanni Chevalley. The church's intricate details and towering presence are beautifully juxtaposed against one of the original tower hotels nearby, showcasing the unique blend of traditional and modern elements that define this charming destination. The hotel stands as a testament to Sestriere's growth as a commercial hub while retaining its authentic alpine character. In the background, a breathtaking mountain landscape unfolds, reminding us of nature's grandeur that surrounds this idyllic town. The photographer Peretti Griva skillfully captures these contrasting elements with his masterful play on light and shadow, creating a pictorial composition that evokes both serenity and awe. Dating back to approximately 1930, this photograph exemplifies international art from the 20th century – an era marked by innovation and creativity across various artistic mediums. It serves as a visual time capsule transporting viewers to an era where architecture seamlessly blended with natural beauty. With Domenico Riccardo Alinari behind this remarkable piece from their collection, it showcases not only historical significance but also represents cultural heritage through its depiction of religious structures like churches alongside commercial establishments such as hotels. Peretti Griva has immortalized Sestriere's main square in all its glory – an enchanting fusion of architectural marvels amidst stunning mountain vistas – inviting us to appreciate both man-made wonders and nature's splendor simultaneously.
