EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pietro Ronchetti in 1958, we are transported to the breathtaking planeland near Machu Picchu, Peru. The image showcases a Peruvian family gracefully walking across the vast landscape, surrounded by the remnants of ancient ruins and an abundance of natural beauty. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the family itself - a testament to human resilience and connection with their surroundings. As they traverse through this historical site, one can't help but wonder about their story and how they fit into the rich tapestry of Peruvian culture. The presence of a donkey adds an element of intrigue to the scene, symbolizing both practicality and companionship. It hints at a way of life deeply rooted in tradition and simplicity, where humans coexist harmoniously with animals. The architectural structures scattered throughout the landscape serve as reminders of past civilizations that once thrived here. They stand as silent witnesses to history's unfolding narrative, inviting us to contemplate our place within it. Amidst all this grandeur lies an unexpected touch – agave plants dotting the terrain like sentinels guarding their land. These succulent plants not only add visual interest but also speak volumes about nature's ability to adapt and thrive even in harsh conditions. This print encapsulates more than just picturesque scenery; it captures moments frozen in time that reflect aspects such as society, politics, anthropology, ethnography, folklore - elements that shape our understanding of humanity itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof - let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its potential for sparking curiosity and igniting conversations about cultural heritage preservation.
