EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene of skiers gracefully gliding down the slopes of Abetone. Taken on February 28,1926, by Aurelio Monteverde, this image transports us back to an era when winter sports were still in their infancy. The landscape is awe-inspiring, with majestic mountains serving as the backdrop for this exhilarating sport. The snow-covered peaks glisten under the winter sun, creating a pristine canvas for these adventurous souls to leave their mark. The natural elements and phenomena are beautifully showcased in this composition, highlighting the power and beauty of nature. Amongst the group of skiers depicted in this photograph is a female athlete who fearlessly embraces the challenges that come with conquering these icy slopes. Her determination shines through her portrait-like presence amidst her fellow companions. Each person exudes a sense of joy and freedom as they navigate through this snowy wonderland. Winter sports enthusiasts will appreciate how Monteverde's lens captures not only the action but also conveys a sense of time frozen within each frame. This snapshot serves as both an object representing that specific moment in history and as a representation of an entire season filled with excitement and adventure. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, we cannot help but be transported to another time – where ski culture was just beginning to take shape. It reminds us that even though technology has advanced over the years, our love for winter sports remains unchanged; it continues to bring people together while celebrating nature's wonders.
