EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling town hall of Piana dei Greci, now known as Piana degli Albanesi, located in Palermo. The date etched on the photograph reveals that it was taken between September 15th and November 11th, 1929. The image showcases a vibrant crowd gathered outside the town hall's entrance. A beautifully crafted wrought metal railing frames the scene, adding an element of elegance to this administrative structure. This architectural gem stands tall, symbolizing power and authority within the municipality. Amidst the sea of people, we catch glimpses of political buildings adorned with flags and emblems representing various associations and societies. It is evident that this gathering holds great significance for society and politics at large. The atmosphere captured by Aurelio Monteverde is one filled with action and energy. People are engaged in animated conversations while others observe their surroundings intently. This street scene offers a unique view of the cityscape behind them - a testament to its rich history. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice a prominent coat of arms proudly displayed on the facade of the town hall building. It serves as a reminder of tradition, heritage, and civic pride held dear by those who call Piana dei Greci home. Monteverde's skillful lens has immortalized this momentous occasion forevermore - an emblematic representation of community unity amidst political fervor. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Alinari, we cannot help but be transported back to that era when society thrived on active participation within local governance structures like these municipal town halls.
