EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of the devastating flood that struck Florence on November 4,1966. Known as the "Old Ponte invaded by mud and debris" this image depicts a once majestic bridge now submerged in a sea of muck and rubble. The sheer force of nature is evident in every inch of this photograph. The bridge, an architectural marvel that once connected communities, now stands as a symbol of destruction and resilience. Mud and debris have infiltrated its every crevice, weighing it down with their heavy burden. The landscape surrounding the bridge tells a tale of chaos unleashed. The river courses have transformed into treacherous torrents, sweeping away everything in their path. Buildings stand half-submerged, their foundations weakened by the relentless onslaught. The view of the city is marred by devastation; what was once vibrant streets are now desolate wastelands. In this image captured by Balocchi Vincenzo from Alinari, we witness not only the geological power but also the indomitable spirit of Florence's people. Despite being faced with such adversity, they refuse to be defeated. They band together to rebuild their beloved city brick by brick. As we gaze upon this photo print, let us remember that even amidst tragedy there is beauty to be found - beauty in human resilience and determination against all odds. Let us honor those who fought tirelessly to restore Florence's glory after one fateful day forever etched into history: November 4th, 1966
