EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-123891-0000" takes us back in time to the year 1932, capturing a thrilling moment during the chariot race in Piazza della Libertà in Florence. The image transports us to an era where horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on the streets. The scene is filled with energy as we witness this ancient form of entertainment taking place right in the heart of urban Florence. The square is bustling with spectators eagerly watching the race unfold. People from all walks of life have gathered together, dressed in their finest attire, showcasing the fashion and clothing trends of that era. Amidst the crowd, we catch a glimpse of a group portrait featuring men associated with various societies and political affiliations. Their presence adds depth to this historical moment, reminding us that even leisure activities held significance beyond mere entertainment. The focus remains on two wheeled carriages racing along the road, driven by skilled charioteers who expertly maneuver through the course. This method of transportation was not only a means for competition but also an object deeply rooted in anthropology, ethnography, and folklore. Foto Fiorenza has masterfully captured this snapshot from history without any commercial intentions. Instead, they invite us to appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us into another time entirely – one where horses ruled terrestrial transportation and architecture shaped society's gatherings. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari, let our imaginations run wild as we envision ourselves amidst that lively crowd witnessing this exhilarating spectacle firsthand.
