EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the essence of rural life in the province of Siena. The image showcases the impressive exterior of the olive press located on the farm of Baron Giovanni Ricasoli Firidolfi at Brolio Castle. The photograph, taken around 1918, beautifully captures both the architectural details and natural surroundings that make this location so enchanting. The olive press stands as a testament to centuries-old farming traditions and techniques that have been passed down through generations. The structure itself is an architectural marvel, with its sturdy arches and intricate building elements showcasing a blend of functionality and decorative design. A large window allows glimpses into the inner workings of this essential oil mill, where olives were transformed into liquid gold – extra virgin olive oil. Surrounded by rolling hillsides covered in lush vegetation, this scene offers a picturesque view of the countryside. A solitary tree stands tall nearby, adding depth to an already breathtaking landscape. It's easy to imagine farmers bustling about their daily tasks against such a serene backdrop. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also evoked emotions tied to nostalgia for simpler times when agriculture played a central role in people's lives. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there is beauty in preserving our agricultural heritage.
