EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by the talented Balocchi Vincenzo, we are transported back to Italy in the 1950s. The image beautifully portrays a bowls player engrossed in their game, as they stand on a well-maintained bowling green. Photographed from behind, we witness the player's focused stance and graceful movement as they skillfully roll a ball towards its intended destination. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; it not only captures the essence of sportsmanship but also highlights the architectural beauty surrounding the playing field. The carefully manicured lawn serves as an elegant backdrop for this intense moment of concentration and precision. It is evident that both structure and nature coexist harmoniously within this sporting arena. As our eyes delve deeper into the frame, we become captivated by every detail meticulously preserved by Vincenzo's lens. The texture of each blade of grass seems tangible while conveying a sense of tranquility amidst competitive energy. This snapshot encapsulates not just a mere sport but also an entire culture steeped in tradition. Although devoid of color, this monochromatic masterpiece allows us to focus solely on form and movement - elements that define any athletic pursuit. The timeless quality evoked by this vintage print transports us through time, reminding us that passion for sports transcends generations. Balocchi Vincenzo has masterfully immortalized not only a single moment frozen in time but also an entire era where bocce ball was cherished with utmost reverence. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate both human achievement and architectural splendor intertwined seamlessly within one frame – leaving us yearning for more glimpses into history's hidden treasures.
