EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the incredible skill and determination of the workers in the Apuan Alps. In this scene, some excavators are participating in the age-old practice known as 'lizzatura' or hemping. The purpose of this process is to transport multiple blocks of marble from the mountains down to the valley below. The image reveals a group of laborers working together with unwavering strength and precision. They have ingeniously bound these hefty marble blocks using sturdy hemp ropes called 'lizza'. With their trusty sled made from beech or oak planks, they carefully navigate through treacherous rocky terrain. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1900, offering us a glimpse into an era when manual labor was at its peak. It showcases not only the quarrying industry but also highlights the immense physicality required for such work. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing landscape, we witness towering mountains serving as both backdrop and challenge for these brave individuals. Their resilience against nature's obstacles is awe-inspiring. Every element within this frame tells a story - from the ruggedness of their tools to their weathered expressions that bear testament to years spent honing their craft. This photo encapsulates both human ingenuity and our unyielding connection with nature's resources. Captured by Corsini A. , it serves as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on an essential aspect of society during that time period – hard work, dedication, and unity amidst adversity.
