EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Lunch, 1951" by Balocchi Vincenzo takes us back to a simpler time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of an individual in mid-20th century Italy. The scene is set on a sunny afternoon in 1951, where we find ourselves amidst the serene ambiance of a public park. The focal point of this photograph is an old wooden bench that stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and timeless design. It serves as the perfect spot for our subject's lunch break. On the bench lies an assortment of kitchenwares – pots, pans, and even a flask filled with wine – showcasing the importance placed on nourishment and culinary traditions during this era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice a contented cat lounging nearby; its presence adds warmth and companionship to this solitary moment. Behind it stands an elegant tent-like structure that hints at festive gatherings or perhaps religious ceremonies held within such civic spaces. Our protagonist is captured in his element - an elderly mason donning a hat that speaks volumes about his vocation and experience. His weathered face tells stories of hard work while exuding wisdom earned over years spent honing his craft. Surrounded by these tangible reminders of everyday life from decades past – chairs, tables, brackets – one cannot help but reflect upon how much has changed since then. This photograph not only captures physical objects but also evokes physiological and psychological aspects tied to food culture and societal norms prevalent at that time. Balocchi Vincenzo's masterful composition transports us back to 1951 when simplicity reigned supreme yet offered profound satisfaction in life's little moments like enjoying lunch under open skies.
