EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Per oggi basta . . . " (it's enough for today. . . ), we are transported back to Tuscany in the year 1955. The image captures an intimate moment of an elderly woman as she delicately peers into her purse, perhaps contemplating her day's expenses or reflecting on a lifetime of memories. The woman's weathered face tells a story of wisdom and resilience, with every wrinkle etching the passage of time. Her eyes hold a hint of weariness but also a glimmer of determination, showcasing the strength that comes with age. Dressed in traditional attire, she stands as a symbol of timeless elegance and grace. Surrounded by the bustling streetscape, this portrait offers us a glimpse into both personal and societal aspects. The apron she wears suggests her role as caretaker or homemaker, highlighting the importance placed on family values during that era. It is through these small details that we gain insight into not only her individuality but also broader cultural norms. Photographer Pierluigi Mazzoni masterfully captures this fleeting moment frozen in time – one that encapsulates both physiological and psychological aspects associated with old age. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect upon our own mortality while celebrating the beauty found within aging. As we gaze at this poignant photograph from Alinari archives, let us pause to appreciate the stories held within each line on her face and find solace in knowing that sometimes it truly is enough for today - for tomorrow will bring its own joys and challenges.
