EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-090011-0010" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Siena. The image captures a momentous event that has been etched into the history of this ancient Italian town - The Palio in Piazza del Campo. Dated July 7th, 1922, this photograph by Aurelio Monteverde transports us to a bygone era where tradition and pageantry were at their peak. In the heart of Siena's iconic square, we witness a breathtaking historical procession unfold before our eyes. Horses gallop with fervor as they compete for victory in this renowned horse race. The scene is alive with action and excitement as terrestrial mammals - both riders and horses - showcase their strength and agility. Vibrant flags flutter proudly against the backdrop of historic buildings while spectators line the streets, eagerly watching every thrilling moment. Monteverde skillfully captures not only the intensity of the race but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during that period. Amongst all the commotion, we catch sight of people wearing hats or turbans, adding an element of diversity to this street scene. Through his lens, Monteverde offers us a mesmerizing view of Siena itself. We can appreciate its architectural beauty as well as its vibrant atmosphere during one of its most celebrated events. This remarkable print from Alinari allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in an extraordinary cultural experience. It serves as a testament to both Monteverde's artistic talent and Siena's rich heritage that continues to captivate visitors even today.
