EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a group of men engrossed in a game of bowls. Taken on May 21st, 1950, in the picturesque town of Incisa in Val D'Arno, this image transports us to an era where leisurely outdoor games were cherished pastimes. Set against the backdrop of a lush meadow dotted with trees and vegetation, the scene exudes tranquility and camaraderie. The carefully manicured lawn bowling green stands as both an element of structure and architecture within this natural landscape. The men are dressed impeccably in fashion-forward clothing typical for that period, adding an air of sophistication to their sportive pursuits. Their attire reflects not only their membership within this social group but also hints at the larger society and politics that shaped their lives. As we observe these lawn bowlers engaged in friendly competition, it becomes evident that more than just physical rapport is at play here. The bonds of friendship are palpable among these individuals who have come together to enjoy each other's company amidst nature's beauty. Balocchi Vincenzo skillfully captures the essence of this moment through his lens, immortalizing a slice of history filled with joyous laughter and shared experiences. This print serves as a testament to the timeless appeal of outdoor games and reminds us all to cherish moments spent connecting with others while surrounded by nature's splendor.
