EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - a road, cleared by the Italians, leading from the marina to the city of Valona in Albania. Taken around 1915-1918 during World War I, this image showcases not only the physical landscape but also sheds light on the historical context of contemporary nations. The photograph portrays an impressive feat of land reclamation as it depicts a well-maintained road cutting through lush vegetation and towering trees. The scene exudes tranquility and hints at the peacefulness that once graced this part of Albania's countryside. The significance of this road lies not only in its practical purpose but also in its symbolic representation. It serves as a testament to Italy's influence during that period and their efforts to establish control over territories beyond their borders. Beyond its historical value, this image offers us a glimpse into country life during those times. The presence of farmland suggests an agrarian society thriving amidst political turmoil. It reminds us that even amid war, people continued with their daily lives, tending to crops and relying on agriculture for sustenance. While we may never know who exactly captured this poignant moment in time due to it being credited to an unidentified author from Alinari, we can appreciate how it encapsulates various subjects - history, landscapes, populations - all within one frame. This photograph stands as both a visual record and a reminder of our shared pasts.
