EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Alagna at the foot of the alpine mountain chain" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The attention to detail is remarkable as it beautifully captures a picturesque scene of this Italian village nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the church, with its majestic bell tower and spire reaching towards the heavens. Standing proudly beside it is a charming portico that adds an architectural elegance to this religious complex. A cemetery lies nearby, serving as a poignant reminder of life's transient nature. In stark contrast to these man-made structures, lush vegetation envelops the entire area. The landscape surrounding Alagna showcases both valleys and mountains, creating a breathtaking panorama that leaves one in awe of Mother Nature's artistry. Amidst this idyllic setting stands a large hotel, perhaps catering to visitors seeking refuge from their travels or those eager to explore this enchanting region further. Its presence serves as evidence that even in those times gone by, tourism played a significant role in shaping local economies. Vittorio Besso skillfully captured every intricate detail - from herbaceous plants swaying gently in the breeze to towering trees providing shade and sanctuary for weary travelers. This photograph not only immortalizes Alagna but also transports us back through time, allowing us glimpses into an era long past. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print today, let us appreciate how landscapes change over time while still retaining their inherent beauty. May it inspire wanderlust within our hearts and ignite curiosity about distant lands waiting to be explored – all through the lens of Vittorio Besso's artistic vision.
