EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a group of Italian men diligently working on a mountain road in Albania. Their purpose? To facilitate the passage of the Serbian army during World War I. The scene is set against a breathtaking backdrop of rolling hillsides and majestic mountains, showcasing the rugged beauty of Albania's landscape. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we can almost feel the crisp mountain air and hear echoes of labor echoing through the valleys. The men themselves are dressed in work attire that reflects both practicality and fashion trends of their era. With rolled-up sleeves, sturdy trousers, and protective headgear, they exude an aura of determination as they toil away under challenging conditions. Amongst them are soldiers donning military uniforms - a reminder that this project serves not only civilian purposes but also strategic military objectives. This convergence between civilian workers and armed forces highlights the collaborative efforts required during times of conflict. This photograph offers us a glimpse into Italy's involvement in World War I while shedding light on Albania's history as well. It speaks volumes about contemporary nations' histories, populations, territories, and geopolitical dynamics during one of humanity's most significant conflicts. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unidentified author from Alinari studios around 1915-1918 ca. , let us appreciate its historical significance beyond mere aesthetics. It reminds us how human endeavors shape landscapes while simultaneously shaping our collective history.
