EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in the 1970s, a farmer leads his ox-drawn cart down a narrow, crumbling street in the small Italian town of Santhia, located in the rich and fertile Piemonte region. The scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the traditional and rural way of life that once dominated this beautiful corner of Italy. The farmer, dressed in worn and faded clothing, holds the reins of his two sturdy oxen with a confident and experienced hand. Their powerful muscles ripple as they pull the cart, laden with heavy sacks and baskets, along the uneven cobblestones. The oxen's shaggy coats glisten in the sunlight, their hooves clatter against the pavement as they make their way through the quiet town. The street itself is a charming blend of old and new, with shuttered windows and crumbling facades giving way to modern signs and satellite dishes. The contrast between the traditional and the contemporary is a testament to the gradual progress that has shaped this region over the decades. The warm, golden light bathes the scene in a soft and inviting glow, casting long shadows and adding depth and texture to every detail. The muted colors of the buildings and the rich, earthy tones of the cart and the farmer's clothing create a harmonious and timeless tableau that speaks to the enduring beauty and charm of rural Italy. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when oxen and carts were a common sight on the streets of small Italian towns, and the simple pleasures of rural life were cherished and celebrated. It is a moment frozen in time, a moment that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
