EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Ritratto di bambina seduta su una balaustra" by Aurelio Monteverde, we are transported back in time to the enchanting city of Lucca on a sunny day in May 1932. The image showcases a young girl seated gracefully on a balustrade, her delicate figure framed against the backdrop of architectural elements and decorative sections. The intricate details of the building's design draw our attention, with its ornate balustrade serving as both a functional element and an artistic statement. It is evident that every aspect has been carefully crafted, reflecting the beauty and grandeur of Italian architecture. The child herself becomes the focal point of this portrait; her innocent gaze captures our hearts instantly. Her hairdo, meticulously arranged in an elegant style popular during that era, adds to her charm. The fashion choices reflect the times as well - she wears clothing typical for girls at that age: simple yet refined. Monteverde's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the subject but also his ability to capture fleeting moments frozen in time. Through his lens, he immortalizes this young girl's essence - her curiosity, innocence, and perhaps even dreams for what lies ahead. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us take a moment to reflect on how photography can transport us through history. This print serves as a testament to Monteverde's talent as well as an invaluable window into Italy's past – reminding us of cherished memories and offering glimpses into lives lived long ago.
