EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-F-000735-0000" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a breathtaking view of the plain of San Nicolao on the pass of Moncenisio, nestled amidst majestic mountains. However, what truly stands out is the remarkable civil engineering feat that dominates the scene. In this photograph, we witness an awe-inspiring rack railway covered by a robust avalanche protection structure. This ingenious architectural marvel served as a lifeline connecting Susa to Saint-Michel de Maurienne in Savoy during those years. Its presence symbolizes human ingenuity and determination to conquer nature's challenges. The landscape surrounding this magnificent structure is equally mesmerizing. Vast stretches of rocky areas blend seamlessly with snow-capped peaks, creating a picturesque backdrop for this incredible transportation system. It's as if nature itself has conspired with man-made innovation to create an unforgettable tableau. A train can be seen confidently traversing along these tracks, defying gravity and conquering treacherous terrain. This method of transportation was not only essential for local communities but also opened up new possibilities for trade and exploration in remote regions. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured between 1868 and 1871, we are transported back in time when progress was measured by feats like these rather than digital advancements or technological breakthroughs. This evocative print from www. alinari. it reminds us that there is beauty not just in landscapes but also in human achievements that harmoniously coexist within them – where architecture meets nature's grandeur and where innovation merges with timeless scenery.
