EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The curious races, the race of the hundred and forty in Milan" offers a fascinating glimpse into a peculiar sporting event that took place in 1923. The image showcases a group of small champions, no taller than 1.40 meters, valiantly competing on a tour of Piazza d'Armi. In this vibrant lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness an array of intriguing elements. The young participants energetically run alongside bicycles and coaches through wooded areas and along winding roads. Their determination is palpable as they strive to emerge victorious in this unusual cross-country race. The scene is filled with an air of excitement and curiosity as supporters cheer on these pint-sized athletes. Amidst the towering trees and lush greenery, it becomes clear that this race was far from ordinary. It represents not only a test of physical prowess but also an embodiment of the unique spirit found within Italian culture. Beltrame's illustration captures both the bizarre nature of this event and its significance within Milanese society at the time. This snapshot provides us with insight into how sports can transcend traditional boundaries and ignite passion among people from all walks of life. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded that sometimes it is these unconventional races that leave lasting impressions on our collective memory – forever etching themselves into history books as moments where human potential knows no bounds.
