EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Maiori, nestled along the Amalfi Coast. Taken around 1890-1900, it showcases a breathtaking view of houses cascading down from the slope of a majestic mountain towards the sandy beach below. The architectural charm of these traditional Italian homes is evident as they stand proudly against the backdrop of an expansive sky. Each structure tells its own story, with their unique designs and intricate details reflecting a rich history that has shaped this coastal community. Nature's elements play a significant role in this scene, with rugged rocks jutting out from the mountainside, adding texture and character to the landscape. The geomorphological wonders are further enhanced by the stunning Gulf of Salerno stretching out into the horizon. A sense of tranquility pervades this image as we spot a small fishing boat gently gliding across calm waters. It serves as a reminder that life here revolves around both land and sea – where transportation by water is just as essential as on land. This photograph captures not only an awe-inspiring landscape but also offers us glimpses into daily life in Maiori during that era. It invites us to imagine strolling through narrow streets lined with vibrant markets or witnessing locals going about their daily routines amidst such natural beauty. Preserved by Alinari, one of Italy's most renowned photography archives, this timeless snapshot allows us to appreciate how little has changed over time along this enchanting stretch of coastline.
