EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene on the pier of Viareggio, a charming town nestled in the province of Lucca, Italy. The year is approximately 1900, and as we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era where life seemed simpler yet equally vibrant. The pier itself stands tall and proud, serving as both a naval and river transportation hub. Its architectural beauty harmonizes with the surrounding landscape - a picturesque seascape that stretches out into infinity. As we observe closely, we notice people scattered along the wooden planks; some sit leisurely while others engage in various games and pastimes. Resting under the warm sun are individuals seeking respite from their daily routines. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that time - women don elegant dresses adorned with hats or headdresses while men sport civilian or military outfits. Even children can be seen enjoying themselves amidst this idyllic setting. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph offers us glimpses into physiological and psychological aspects of human nature. We witness how moments spent by the sea have therapeutic effects on both body and mind – a reminder that even in bustling times like these, finding solace in nature remains essential. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we catch sight of distant city views - perhaps hinting at walking excursions awaiting those who venture beyond this tranquil spot. This remarkable image was captured by Brogi from Alinari – an artist whose lens skillfully freezes moments brimming with life's emotions. It serves as a testament to his ability to encapsulate not only scenes but also stories within each click of his camera shutter.
