EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Turin in 1926. Standing tall and proud, the Post and Telegraph Office building takes center stage, showcasing its remarkable architecture and intricate design elements. The grandeur of this administrative structure is evident in every detail captured by photographer Mario Gabinio. The imposing portal draws our attention with its ornate decorations, while the windows reveal a glimpse into the daily operations of the post office within. It's fascinating to imagine the flurry of activity that took place behind those walls during a time when communication relied heavily on physical mail. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to an exquisite statue adorning one corner of the building. This work of art adds a touch of elegance to an already impressive structure, reminding us that beauty can be found even in functional spaces. Intriguingly, amidst all these architectural marvels lies a humble bicycle parked on the road nearby. This simple mode of transportation serves as a reminder that despite advancements in technology over time, some things remain constant – people still rely on land-based methods for their daily commute. Adding another layer to this scene is a crest or emblem proudly displayed above one window. Though we cannot discern its specific details from this photograph alone, it hints at historical significance or perhaps represents Turin's coat of arms. Mario Gabinio has skillfully captured not only an architectural masterpiece but also moments frozen in time – scenes depicting how people moved about and communicated nearly a century ago. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari today, it allows us to appreciate both the progress made since then and how certain aspects endure through generations.
