EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Turin in the 1930s. The image captures a charming restaurant nestled in Brich della Maddalena, near the picturesque Parco della Rimembranza on the outskirts of the city. The composition showcases an exquisite architectural structure that exudes a sense of elegance and grandeur. Its intricate details are beautifully highlighted by the play of light and shadow, creating a mesmerizing visual contrast. The building's facade proudly displays a prominent sign, serving as both a symbol of identification and an invitation to passersby. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch glimpses of life unfolding around this thriving establishment. People dressed in fashionable attire can be seen entering or leaving the restaurant, perhaps indulging in delectable culinary delights or engaging in lively conversations with friends and loved ones. The photograph not only captures a moment but also tells a story about commerce and trade during that era. It serves as evidence of how businesses utilized signage as an effective means of communication to attract customers from afar. Mario Gabinio's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance within this historical scene. His expert craftsmanship immortalizes this slice of Turin's past, providing us with an opportunity to reflect upon its rich cultural heritage. As we gaze at this remarkable piece captured nearly a century ago, we are reminded that even though times may change, certain elements such as architecture, business practices, and human connection remain timeless threads connecting our present with our past.
