EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history, showcasing the old tradition of football with a Renaissance twist. The four districts of Florence are represented in elaborate costumes as they engage in a friendly game of football, kicking the ball with skill and precision.
In the background, King Umberto I and his wife look on with interest and amusement, adding an air of regality to the scene. The setting is picturesque, with traditional architecture framing the soccer field where this lively game is taking place.
The participants are dressed in intricate Renaissance attire, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Florence. Each detail from their clothing to their expressions speaks volumes about the time period and social dynamics at play.
This print on double-weight paper from 1898 is a true gem from the Alinari Archives in Florence, capturing not just a sporting event but also offering insights into societal norms and traditions of that era. It serves as a window into history, allowing us to glimpse into a world where sports were not just games but also reflections of artistry and social hierarchy.
Overall, this image is a testament to how sports can transcend mere physical activity and become intertwined with culture, politics, and fashion. It's truly a fascinating piece that invites viewers to step back in time and experience an age-old tradition through modern eyes.
