EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the sunny shores of Santa Margherita Ligure in the 1960s. The image captures a picturesque terrace adorned with vibrant sun umbrellas, creating a delightful contrast against the azure blue sky. It is as if time has stood still, allowing us to witness a moment frozen in history. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable. The rose window, with its intricate design and delicate stained glass, stands proudly in the background, adding an air of elegance and spirituality to the scene. The building elements surrounding it showcase exquisite architectural details that speak volumes about the rich history and culture of this coastal town. As we gaze at this snapshot from yesteryears, we cannot help but be drawn into its charm. The terrace itself exudes a sense of relaxation and leisure; it beckons visitors to unwind under those colorful beach umbrellas while enjoying breathtaking views of both land and sea. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies deeper symbolism: juxtaposing these man-made objects against nature's beauty reminds us of our desire for comfort amidst natural wonders. This fusion creates an enchanting harmony between human creation and Mother Earth's gifts. While not explicitly mentioned by name or purpose, there is also something inherently spiritual about this image due to its proximity to religious architecture. It serves as a gentle reminder that even within moments of leisure and pleasure, faith can find its place. Balocchi Vincenzo's photographic prowess shines through in capturing such timeless beauty on film. Through his lens, he has preserved not just an ordinary scene but rather an extraordinary glimpse into Santa Margherita Ligure's past—a testament to his skill as well as his appreciation for preserving cultural heritage through artistry.
