EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Borra Giuseppe, we are transported back in time to the bustling Strozzi's Square in Florence during the 1950s or 1960s. The scene captures three men engrossed in deep consultation as they sit on a wooden bench adorned with books for sale. The market atmosphere is palpable, with various structures and sites surrounding them, showcasing the vibrant commerce and trade that defined this era. Books, considered instruments of communication and knowledge, take center stage as these men delve into their contents. The architectural beauty of the buildings housing these book stalls adds an enchanting backdrop to the scene. As we observe closely, we notice each man's distinct fashion choices - from trilby hats to overcoats - reflecting the clothing trends of that time. A sense of camaraderie emanates from this group portrait as they engage in intellectual pursuits amidst a lively street scene. A bicycle parked nearby hints at their mode of transportation while also adding a touch of nostalgia. Through Borra Giuseppe's lens, we gain a glimpse into an ordinary day filled with reading and scholarly discussions against the backdrop of Florence's magnificent cityscape. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to our timeless fascination with literature and learning. Let us appreciate Alinari for preserving such remarkable images that allow us to travel through history without leaving our present-day surroundings.
