EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-090011-0002" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Siena on a summer day. Taken by the talented photographer Aurelio Monteverde on July 7th, 1922, this image captures a momentous scene in Piazza del Campo. In the foreground stands a group of men dressed in traditional costumes, representing the Contrada del Nicchio. Their elaborate attire showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of Siena. Each detail is meticulously captured by Monteverde's camera - from their finely tailored clothing adorned with intricate patterns to their distinctive hats that add an air of elegance. The men proudly hold various objects that symbolize their identity as members of this Contrada. A flag flutters gently in the breeze while armor glimmers under the sunlight, reminding us of ancient traditions passed down through generations. One man holds a drum close to his chest, perhaps preparing for a lively performance or procession. Monteverde's skilled composition brings out each individual's unique personality within this group portrait. Their expressions range from solemnity to pride, hinting at stories untold behind their eyes. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Alinari, we are transported not only to another era but also into the heart and soul of Siena itself. It serves as a testament to how fashion and clothing can be powerful vehicles for preserving culture and tradition throughout history.
