The Free Horse Race - A Spectacle of Tradition and Rivalry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a long-standing tradition during the carnival in Rome. Known as "The Free Horse Race" this thrilling event was organized four times throughout the festivities, drawing crowds from far and wide. The race commences at the bustling Peoples Square, where eager spectators gather to witness an exhilarating display of horsemanship. The horses gallop with incredible speed along the Corso, their hooves pounding against the cobblestone streets, creating a symphony of excitement. As they reach Venice Square, anticipation fills the air. Here, amidst cheers and applause from onlookers, prizes are presented to those skilled riders who have proven their mettle in this fierce competition. Engraved by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this image beautifully illustrates Francis Wey's voyage to Rome between 1864-1870. Published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette Paris, it offers us a glimpse into a time when customs were cherished and celebrated with grandeur. Through this photograph captured by Leonard de Selva from his private collection, we are transported back in time to experience not only the thrill of horse racing but also immerse ourselves in Italian culture. It is a reminder that traditions hold immense value even today as they bring communities together while igniting friendly rivalries that add color to our lives.
