EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aurelio Monteverde in 1926, we are transported back in time to the stunning shores of Seccheto Beach on Elba Island. The image showcases a group of tourists basking under the warm Mediterranean sun, surrounded by an enchanting landscape that seamlessly merges sea and land. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice the abundance of prickly pear succulents dotting the sandy terrain. These resilient plants add a touch of natural beauty to the scene, reminding us of the unique flora found on this picturesque island. Amongst this idyllic setting, fashion takes center stage as well. The tourists don fashionable attire and accessories, with hats adorning their heads – be it civilian, military or religious headdresses – providing both protection from the sun's rays and adding a stylish flair to their beachside ensemble. A glimpse into early 20th-century fashion trends can be seen within these timeless outfits. The composition also captures a breathtaking view of the gulf stretching out before them. Its azure waters blend harmoniously with the clear sky above, creating a serene seascape that invites relaxation and exploration alike. This photograph not only immortalizes a moment in time but also encapsulates the essence of travel and tourism during an era long gone. It serves as a reminder that even then people sought solace in nature's embrace while indulging in leisurely trips to discover new places. Monteverde's lens has frozen this vibrant scene forever; inviting us to step into history for just a moment and experience firsthand what it was like to be part of that group on Seccheto Beach all those years ago.
