EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shanghai. Park and homes in the neighborhood of the Old Town" transports us back to 1977, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Shanghai's bustling streets. The renowned Italian photographer, Folco Quilici, masterfully captures the essence of this vibrant cityscape. In this snapshot, we find ourselves immersed in a charming park nestled within the heart of Shanghai's historic Old Town neighborhood. Lush greenery surrounds us as we witness locals leisurely strolling along meandering pathways or engaging in animated conversations on wooden benches. The park exudes tranquility amidst the urban chaos that lies beyond its borders. The architectural beauty showcased here is equally mesmerizing. Traditional Chinese homes with their distinct curved roofs and intricate designs stand tall against a backdrop of modern skyscrapers that symbolize Shanghai's rapid transformation over time. This striking contrast between old and new serves as a testament to China's enduring cultural heritage intertwined with its relentless pursuit of progress. Quilici skillfully captures not just an image but also an atmosphere; his lens seems to freeze time itself, allowing us to experience this moment from decades ago as if we were there ourselves. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination takes flight, envisioning stories unfolding within these ancient walls - tales whispered through generations. This Alinari print offers more than just visual delight; it invites contemplation about how cities evolve while preserving their roots. It reminds us that even amidst change and growth, there are spaces where nature thrives and traditions endure—a timeless reminder etched onto photographic paper for all to appreciate.
