EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-081992-0000" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a mesmerizing scene inside the Roman Theatre of Fiesole during a performance of Sophocles' timeless tragedy, "Oedipus the King". As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the audience seated in the cavea, or seating area, of the theater. Rows upon rows of spectators fill every available space, their anticipation palpable as they await Gustavo Salvini's portrayal of Oedipus. The atmosphere is electric with excitement and curiosity. The architectural grandeur of the Roman Theatre is evident in this photograph. Its ancient structure stands proudly amidst its surroundings on Fiesole's picturesque hillsides. We can see intricate building elements and decorative sections that speak volumes about its rich history and archeological significance. Beyond being an architectural marvel, this theater was designed for performing arts and recreation - a place where people could escape from their daily lives and immerse themselves in stories brought to life on stage. It served as a hub for cultural exchange and artistic expression. Intriguingly, we do not know who captured this momentous occasion nor when exactly it took place within the years 1910-1920. However, what remains undeniable is how this photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand an era long gone but forever preserved through Alinari's lens. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history; let it remind us that art has always had the power to unite communities across generations by igniting emotions within each bystander fortunate enough to experience its magic firsthand.
