EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Balocchi Vincenzo, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Venice in 1927. The image depicts a scene of everyday life as it unfolds along the city's iconic canals. The focal point of the photo is a group of hardworking individuals engaged in the transportation of cabbage to the market. Laden with baskets filled to the brim with fresh greens and vegetables, these laborers navigate their way through narrow alleyways and across picturesque bridges. Their determination is palpable as they skillfully balance their precious cargo on their shoulders, ensuring that each head of cabbage arrives at its destination unharmed. As our eyes wander beyond this central action, we are treated to a mesmerizing view of Venice itself. The unique architecture and structure of buildings seem almost suspended over tranquil lagoons, creating an enchanting landscape that has captivated visitors for centuries. The composition cleverly juxtaposes human activity against nature's bounty - vibrant cabbages contrasting against weathered stone facades. This interplay between man-made structures and natural elements adds depth and complexity to the overall visual narrative. Balocchi Vincenzo's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within everyday scenes but also offers us a glimpse into historical practices such as commerce and trade during this era. Through his lens, he immortalizes moments that might otherwise have been forgotten. This timeless print serves as both a testament to Venice's enduring charm and an homage to those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes to bring sustenance from field-to-market. It reminds us that even mundane tasks can possess extraordinary beauty when viewed through an artist's lens
