EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-070007-0016" captured by Aurelio Monteverde in 1923, we are transported to the serene banks of the Tiber at Ponte San Giovanni, nestled between the picturesque towns of Perugia and Assisi. The scene unfolds with a timeless charm as a pair of majestic oxen command our attention. These terrestrial mammals, symbols of strength and endurance, stand gracefully against the backdrop of rolling hillsides. The presence of these magnificent creatures evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. They seem to embody the essence of rural life, where man and beast work together in perfect symbiosis. A peasant can be seen nearby, perhaps their devoted caretaker or an observer taking respite from his laborious tasks. The landscape itself is breathtakingly beautiful - a testament to Italy's rich natural heritage. The river courses through the frame like a lifeline, nourishing the surrounding vegetation that flourishes abundantly along its banks. Straw lies scattered on the ground, hinting at recent agricultural activities while adding texture to this idyllic tableau. Monteverde's masterful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys an entire way of life steeped in tradition and simplicity. It reminds us that amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there is still beauty to be found in embracing our connection with nature. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph print from Alinari, we are transported back nearly a century ago when life moved at a slower pace – when oxen plowed fields instead of machines and people reveled in their surroundings rather than being consumed by technology. Let this image serve as an invitation to pause for just a moment; immerse yourself in its timeless allure and allow it to transport you into an era long gone but forever preserved within these delicate silver gelatin fibers.
