EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-132136-0000" we are transported back in time to the years between 1935 and 1945. The image captures a significant moment on the road Turin Caselle in the enchanting Valley of Lauro. As our eyes wander through the frame, we witness a group of diligent workers meticulously arranging blocks of porphyry along the avenue. The scene exudes an air of purposeful activity, with each worker fully immersed in their task. Their dedication is palpable as they strive to create a sturdy foundation for this urban structure. This photograph not only showcases their craftsmanship but also highlights their contribution to shaping the architectural landscape of that era. The composition itself is striking, with strong lines leading our gaze from one end of the road to another. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and dimension to every element within the frame, emphasizing both individual workers and their collective effort. Gherlone's keen eye has captured more than just a construction site; it has immortalized a moment frozen in time—a testament to human ingenuity and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Through this photograph, we can almost hear echoes of conversations exchanged among these laborers as they work tirelessly under an open sky. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us take a moment to appreciate not only Gherlone's skillful artistry but also pay homage to those unsung heroes who dedicated themselves to building our cities brick by brick—leaving behind lasting legacies that continue to shape our urban landscapes today.
