EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shepherd in the mountains of La Maiella" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of rural life in Chieti, Italy. Dating back to approximately 1910-1920, this timeless image transports us into the heart of the Italian countryside. In this picturesque scene, a solitary shepherd stands proudly amidst the majestic peaks of La Maiella. Clad in traditional attire, he exudes an air of resilience and dedication that comes with his vocation. With rugged terrain beneath his feet and snow-capped mountains as his backdrop, he epitomizes the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The presence of sheep grazing peacefully nearby further emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals. These terrestrial mammals are not just livestock but companions on this arduous journey through life's ups and downs. The shepherd's role extends beyond mere farming; it is a way of life deeply rooted in tradition and heritage. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we catch a glimpse of Abruzzo's enchanting landscape – its rolling hills giving way to towering peaks covered in pristine snow. This breathtaking vista reminds us why people have been drawn to these mountains for centuries: their beauty is both humbling and awe-inspiring. With European origins evident from their clothing style, these individuals embody more than just population or nationality; they represent anthropology, ethnography, folklore – living embodiments of cultural richness passed down through generations. Preserved by Foto Edizione Angeli from Alinari with meticulous attention to detail, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating the enduring connection between humanity and nature. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernization, there are still places where traditions endure against all odds - like shepherds tending their flocks among ancient mountain ranges like La Maiella.
