EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-174565-0000" takes us back in time to the enchanting World's Fair held in Pilonetto. The year was 1911, and this image captures a mesmerizing scene that showcases both architectural marvels and cultural diversity. At the forefront of the picture stands the Russian pavilion, an imposing structure that exudes grandeur and elegance. Its intricate design reflects the opulence of Russian architecture, with ornate domes and elaborate details adorning its façade. This pavilion serves as a testament to Russia's rich heritage and its desire to showcase its culture on an international stage. In stark contrast but harmoniously juxtaposed is a medieval castle situated adjacent to the Russian pavilion. This ancient fortress transports us back centuries, evoking images of knights in shining armor and epic battles fought for honor. Its rugged stone walls stand resolute against time, reminding us of our shared history while adding an air of mystique to this already captivating scene. The photograph itself is a testament to Brunner & C's exceptional skill in capturing not only structures but also emotions through their lens. The composition effortlessly highlights both architectural wonders while maintaining balance between them. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, we are transported back over a century ago when these magnificent structures stood proudly at Torino Esposizioni after World War II. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with exhibitions - spaces where cultures converge, ideas flourish, and dreams take flight. Note
