EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 18th century Italy, specifically Lucca, where we are granted a mesmerizing view of the wooden amphitheatre used for horse racing. Preserved within the Archivio Di Stato (National Archives), this historical gem showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of that era. The image captures not only the magnificent structure itself but also offers glimpses into the vibrant atmosphere surrounding it. The boundary of the amphitheatre is adorned with intricate sculptures and statues, adding an artistic touch to its already impressive presence. In the foreground, two horses draw a carriage, emphasizing the significance of equestrian culture during that period. As our eyes wander further into this scene, we notice background figures enjoying a sunny day in what appears to be a formal garden nearby. This elevated view allows us to appreciate both nature's beauty and human ingenuity simultaneously. It is fascinating how this photograph encapsulates various elements: history, artistry, architecture, and even hints at social dynamics through its depiction of people engaging with their surroundings. It serves as a visual testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve deeper into its past
