The First Italian Winter Tourism Caravan on the Spluga - A Glimpse into Italy's Skiing History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame in 1911, captures a significant moment in Italy's winter tourism industry. The image showcases the first Italian winter tourism caravan on the picturesque slopes of Spluga, as well as national ski races taking place in Madesimo. In this vibrant scene, we see a group of men eagerly preparing to compete in the thrilling ski races. Clad in their skiing gear and numbered bibs, they line up at the starting point while supporters cheer them on from behind banners and flags. The snow-covered tracks glisten under the bright winter sun, promising an exhilarating race ahead. The illustration also offers a glimpse into early 20th-century leisure activities. In the background, we spot a charming hotel or chalet where visitors could find accommodation during their winter getaway. This depiction highlights how skiing became not only a sport but also an enjoyable pastime for those seeking adventure and relaxation amidst nature's snowy embrace. Beltrame's artwork beautifully encapsulates both the excitement of competitive sports and the allure of wintertime recreation. It serves as a testament to Italy's growing fascination with skiing and its emergence as one of Europe's premier destinations for winter tourism. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are transported back to an era when brave athletes carved through pristine snowscapes while spectators reveled in their skill and determination – truly capturing the essence of Italy's love affair with winter sports.
