EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the picturesque hamlet of Salaiole, located in Borgo San Lorenzo. Taken on a sunny day in June or July of 1930 by the talented photographer Balocchi Vincenzo, this image captures the essence of rural Italy. In the foreground, we see a charming stone bridge that spans over a tranquil river. This bridge served as an essential transportation route for locals, connecting them to neighboring villages and towns. Its sturdy structure stands as a testament to timeless architecture and engineering. Beyond the bridge, our gaze is drawn towards an exquisite church nestled amidst rolling hillsides. The chapel's elegant facade exudes both Christian devotion and architectural grandeur. It serves as a spiritual sanctuary for worshippers seeking solace within its hallowed walls. The surrounding landscape paints a breathtaking backdrop for this street scene captured by Vincenzo's lens. Lush greenery blankets the hillsides while distant mountains peek through wisps of clouds on the horizon. This view offers viewers an idyllic glimpse into the beauty of Italian countryside living. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that life was bustling even then – people can be seen going about their daily activities along the road leading up to the church. Their presence adds action and vitality to an already enchanting scene. Balocchi Vincenzo's talent lies not only in capturing stunning landscapes but also in transporting us back in time through his photography skills. Through this photo print, he invites us to appreciate both natural beauty and human ingenuity while reminding us of our connection with religious heritage embedded within these historic structures.
