EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic stallion "Secula" in all his glory. Born in April 1918 from a half-breed English Norfolk mare named "Peguniam" and a half-breed Breton stallion called "Nigra". Secula's lineage is as impressive as his appearance. Imported by Cavaliere Filippo Gallina, this magnificent horse was destined for greatness at the breeding farm of Vignale, owned by Earl G. Giuli Rosselmini Gualandi, located in the picturesque region of Maremma in Tuscany. The breathtaking landscape surrounding him adds to the allure of this image. With its striking composition and impeccable timing, this photograph transports us back to approximately 1920 when it was taken. It serves as a testament to the artistry and skill of an unidentified photographer who managed to capture not only the physical beauty but also the spirit and grace of Secula.
