EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of the Po River in Turin, stretching towards the enchanting Valentino Park. The year is approximately 1900, as indicated by the date of the photograph. In the foreground, we witness diligent workers engaged in constructing embankments along the river's edge. The image showcases an array of fascinating elements that bring life to this historic scene. A majestic horse stands proudly on land, symbolizing strength and vitality amidst its terrestrial surroundings. Various mammals can be spotted nearby, adding a touch of wildlife to this urban landscape. As our gaze extends further into the frame, we are drawn towards both naval and river vessels elegantly navigating through these waters - their presence highlighting the importance of transportation for trade and connectivity during that era. The architectural marvels lining this picturesque setting seamlessly blend with nature's beauty. The meticulously designed garden and park areas provide a serene backdrop against which one can appreciate both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's splendor. A small boat gracefully glides across the tranquil river surface, showcasing an alternative method of transportation available at that time. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to how people moved about on land using carts or wheelbarrows – essential tools for daily life back then. It is worth mentioning that this remarkable print was captured by Brogi from Alinari – renowned photographers who have skillfully immortalized countless scenes throughout history without any commercial intent behind their work. In conclusion, this evocative photograph offers us a glimpse into Turin's past – where architecture meets nature harmoniously while humans navigate through riverscapes using various modes of transportation available at that time.
