EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Christmas season of 1924 in Milan, Italy. The image showcases a remarkable creation: a Panettone, a traditional Italian Christmas cake, meticulously shaped as the iconic Duomo di Milano. This delectable masterpiece is not only an edible delight but also an exquisite work of art. The front side of the accompanying postcard bears an inscription that reads "Panettone gradito da S. S. Papa Pio XI offerto dalla Ditta Ignazio Restano. Via Torino angolo Via Asole - MILANO Natale 1924" which translates to "Panettone appreciated by His Holiness Pope Pius XI offered by Ignazio Restano Company. Turin Street corner Asole Street - MILAN Christmas 1924". This inscription adds historical significance and highlights the prestigious nature of this particular Panettone. On the back side of the postcard, we find a personal dedication that remains shrouded in mystery. It serves as a reminder that this delightful treat was not just meant for display or consumption; it held sentimental value for someone special during those festive times. The photograph itself captures more than just food; it encapsulates the essence of Christmas and holiday traditions in Italy during that era. It symbolizes joyous celebrations, cherished moments with loved ones, and indulgence in culinary delights unique to this time of year. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph today, we are transported through time to experience both nostalgia and admiration for such craftsmanship and creativity. It reminds us how food can be transformed into art while preserving cultural heritage. This print from Alinari allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this Panettone-shaped Duomo but also its representation of tradition, festivity, and love shared during Christmastime in Italy nearly a century ago.
