EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Salta, Argentina during the years 1956-1957. The focal point of this image is an exquisite old portico that stands proudly amidst its surroundings. Its architectural elements are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this vibrant South American city. The portico itself is adorned with intricate details, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of its creators. From pilasters to vaults, every element has been meticulously designed, reflecting the grandeur and elegance of a bygone era. The arches gracefully frame the entrance, inviting us to step into a world where time seems to have stood still. In front of this magnificent structure sits a solitary chair, seemingly placed there for contemplation or perhaps as an invitation for passersby to rest their weary feet. This simple piece of furniture adds a touch of warmth and humanity amidst the imposing architecture. As we delve deeper into this photograph's narrative, we notice a child standing near the portico – an innocent witness to history unfolding before their eyes. Their presence reminds us that even in monumental structures like these, it is ultimately people who bring life and meaning. Through Ronchetti Pietro's lens, we glimpse not only architectural beauty but also gain insight into Argentina's diverse population and rich cultural tapestry. The indigenous peoples who have inhabited Central and South America for centuries are represented here – their traditions woven into every stone. This print from Alinari serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an anthropological treasure trove capturing moments frozen in time. It invites us on a journey through space and history while igniting our curiosity about those who came before us in this remarkable corner of Argentina - Salta
