EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Aurelio Monteverde in the winter of 1923, transports us back to a time when Abetone was a bustling ski destination. The image showcases a group of skiers gathered together in the heart of this picturesque Italian town. The snow-covered landscape forms an enchanting backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. The architecture of the buildings surrounding them adds depth and character to the scene, with their intricate designs standing out against the blank canvas of snow. It is as if these structures are guardians watching over the skiers as they enjoy their winter adventure. The group itself exudes excitement and camaraderie, bundled up in warm clothing and sporting vintage skiing gear. Their faces radiate joy and anticipation as they prepare to hit the slopes or perhaps share stories from their day on Abetone's legendary ski trails. Monteverde's composition captures not only a moment but also offers us a glimpse into history. This photograph serves as both an object frozen in time and a representation of an era long gone – where skiing was still relatively new yet rapidly gaining popularity among thrill-seekers seeking solace amidst nature's wintry embrace. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back to that snowy day in 1923 – feeling the crisp air on our cheeks, hearing laughter echoing through narrow streets, and witnessing firsthand how Abetone became synonymous with wintertime bliss. Let this photo serve as a reminder that even though times change, some things remain timeless - like our love for adventure amidst breathtaking landscapes like those found here at Abetone all those years ago.
