EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the picturesque countryside of Rome with this print captured by Paolo Lucchesi. Dated 28th December 1903, this stunning image transports us to a world where horseback hunts were not only a thrilling sport but also an integral part of social life. The focal point of the photograph is the magnificent Torre Nuova, standing tall against the backdrop of rolling farmland and countryside. Its architectural grandeur adds an air of elegance to the scene, while its sturdy structure serves as a testament to its historical significance. Intriguingly, amidst this rural enclosure lies a group of hunters on horseback accompanied by their loyal dogs. Clad in fashionable headdresses and clothing that reflect both civilian and military influences, these individuals exude an undeniable sense of purpose and determination. As we delve deeper into the image's details, one cannot help but admire the harmonious blend between man and animal. The horses' powerful presence symbolizes strength and grace as they gallop across the landscape alongside their riders – skilled jockeys who possess an unwavering bond with their noble steeds. Lucchesi's masterful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to camaraderie, adventure, and tradition. It reminds us that beyond our modern lives lie stories waiting to be discovered within historic photographs like this one. This remarkable print offers more than just visual appeal; it invites us on a journey through history – immersing ourselves in an era where fox hunting was not merely a pastime but rather a cherished way of life for those fortunate enough to experience it firsthand.
