EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an artificial pool in Chile, as seen through the lens of Serafino Emilio Mangiavacchi, an Italian immigrant born in Florence. The image is part of his renowned photo album "Vistas in Chile" dated January 13,1902. Mangiavacchi's artistic eye beautifully portrays the architectural marvel and hydraulic structure that forms this mesmerizing basin. From a bird's-eye view, we are transported to a time when man-made wonders were still being discovered and appreciated. It is worth noting that Mangiavacchi was not only a talented photographer but also a brave member of the "Cuarta Compaa del Cuerpo de Bomberos de Concepcin" or the "4th Company of the Corps of Bombadiers of Concepcin" in Chile. His dedication to serving others ultimately led him on an ill-fated journey aboard the infamous Titanic. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to Mangiavacchi's passion for capturing moments frozen in time and his contribution to both art and society. The composition showcases more than just an artificial pool; it invites us into Mangiavacchi's world where he effortlessly combines architecture with nature. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate how seamlessly these elements blend together, creating a harmonious scene that captivates our senses. Let us cherish this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection while honoring Serafino Emilio Mangiavacchi's memory – forever immortalized through his artistry and selfless service – reminding us all of life’s fragility and resilience even amidst tragedy.
