EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Valle dei Mulini, also known as the Valley of the Mills, nestled in Amalfi. Taken between 1879 and 1910 by Brogi, this image captures a picturesque scene that showcases both natural beauty and architectural marvels. In the foreground, we are greeted by a charming watermill, its rustic structure standing proudly amidst lush vegetation. The mill's wooden wheel hints at its former purpose - grinding grain or powering other machinery - while adding an element of nostalgia to the landscape. It serves as a reminder of Amalfi's rich history and its reliance on such structures for sustenance. As our gaze extends beyond the mill, we are met with rocky areas that punctuate an otherwise serene landscape. These rugged formations add depth and character to the photograph while highlighting nature's ability to coexist harmoniously with man-made structures. Amidst this breathtaking backdrop stands a cluster of houses, their architecture blending seamlessly into their surroundings. These humble dwellings provide insight into rural life during this era; they offer shelter against nature's elements while being surrounded by stunning vistas. The presence of trees further enhances the scenic beauty captured within this frame. Their branches reach towards clear blue skies above, providing shade and tranquility in equal measure. Together with vibrant vegetation below them, they create a symphony of colors that breathe life into every corner of this idyllic valley. Brogi's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in Amalfi's past - where watermills hummed with activity and simple yet elegant homes dotted rocky landscapes. This timeless snapshot invites contemplation about how human ingenuity can blend harmoniously with nature’s grandeur – creating moments frozen forever through photography like this one from Alinari.
