EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004638-0082" takes us back in time to the vibrant equestrian event held at Casal Bruciato, Rome on March 22nd, 1915. The image captures the thrilling horse obstacle race that unfolded amidst a backdrop of architectural splendor. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness the sheer power and grace of these magnificent terrestrial creatures - horses. Their muscular bodies glisten with sweat as they navigate through a challenging course filled with various obstacles. The determination in their eyes is palpable as they leap over fences and maneuver around hurdles. The presence of jockeys adds an element of human connection to this exhilarating scene. Clad in traditional racing attire, these skilled riders demonstrate their symbiotic relationship with their equine partners. Together, they form an unstoppable team fueled by passion and dedication. The architecture surrounding the racetrack provides a striking contrast between man-made structures and nature's beauty. It serves as a testament to our ability to create grandeur while embracing the natural world simultaneously. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, it becomes evident that it not only captures a sporting event but also offers glimpses into early 20th-century fashion trends. The clothing worn by spectators reflects the styles prevalent during that era, giving us insight into how society expressed itself through fashion at that time. Lucchesi Paolo's skillful composition allows us to feel immersed in this momentous occasion from over a century ago. Through his lens, he has preserved not just an equestrian spectacle but also a snapshot of history - one where animals' strength intertwines with human ambition and architectural marvels stand tall against time's passage.
