EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Volterra, Santa Maria in Cellole" transports us back to the enchanting landscapes of Tuscany in 1932. The renowned Italian photographer Aurelio Monteverde skillfully captures the essence of this picturesque scene, showcasing the timeless beauty that lies within every corner of Italy. In the foreground, a majestic cypress tree stands tall and proud, its slender silhouette adding an air of elegance to the composition. Its dark branches reach towards the heavens as if trying to touch the clouds above. Surrounding it is a lush carpet of vibrant vegetation, painting nature's canvas with shades of green that seem almost unreal. As our gaze moves further into the frame, we are greeted by the charming sight of Santa Maria in Cellole. This ancient church perches atop a hill overlooking Volterra, exuding tranquility and spirituality. Its weathered stone facade tells tales from centuries past while standing as a testament to human craftsmanship. The presence of everyday objects scattered throughout adds an intriguing layer to this visual narrative. A hat rests on a wooden bench under the shade of another cypress tree nearby – perhaps left behind by someone who sought solace in this idyllic spot. A glove lies forgotten on top of a purse and bag; their owners momentarily distracted by nature's allure. Monteverde's masterful composition invites us not only to admire but also immerse ourselves in this breathtaking scenery – allowing our senses to be overwhelmed by both natural beauty and human traces left behind over time. This print from Alinari serves as an exquisite reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving landscapes, there are places like Volterra where history intertwines seamlessly with nature's splendor - forever capturing our hearts through photographs like these.
