EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque Porto Azzurro, located on the enchanting Island of Elba. Taken on August 21st, 1947, by the talented photographer Balocchi Vincenzo, this image captures the essence of this serene coastal town. The photograph showcases a breathtaking view of the gulf from a cliff's edge. The vast expanse of sea stretches out before our eyes, its deep blue hues contrasting beautifully with the rugged coastline. Nestled along the shore is a small boat gently bobbing in the water, adding a sense of tranquility to this idyllic scene. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that transportation played an integral role in daily life during that era. The presence of boats signifies their importance as a method of transportation for both locals and visitors alike. Beyond just capturing an exquisite seascape and showcasing modes of transportation, Vincenzo's lens also reveals glimpses into everyday life on Elba Island. In the distance lies a charming view of Porto Azzurro itself – its buildings nestled harmoniously amidst lush greenery. This glimpse into local architecture adds depth to our understanding and appreciation for this beautiful corner of Italy. It is worth noting that this remarkable photograph does not represent any commercial use but rather serves as an artistic documentation by Alinari. Through Balocchi Vincenzo's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the natural beauty and simplicity that characterized Porto Azzurro nearly seven decades ago. In conclusion, Vincenzo's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only nature's wonders but also provides insight into historical aspects such as transportation methods and architectural styles prevalent during that period on Elba Island - making it truly timeless art captured through photography.
