26. VETRINA SUL PASSATO<br />

Il meglio delle cose del passato hanno sempre<br />

trovato mercato, almeno da quando i Romani<br />

collezionavano antichità egizie, greche ed<br />

etrusche.<br />

Antichità francesi e italiane hanno aggiunto<br />

prestigio alle case dei benestanti dall’epoca<br />

della loro creazione fino al presente.<br />

Come una scenografia prima che cominci la<br />

commedia, la vetrina a Milano espone due<br />

sedie – Luigi XVI, Luigi XVIII? – un comodino,<br />

candelabri d’argento, porcellane ed un paravento<br />

a tre ante.<br />

Sicuramente dopo lo scatto tutti questi oggetti<br />

d’epoca hanno trovato una giusta collocazione<br />

in interni ben arredati.<br />

Milano, 1978<br />

WINDOW ON THE PAST<br />

The best of the bygones have always had a<br />

market, at least since the Romans collected<br />

Egyptian, Greek and Etruscan antiquities.<br />

French and Italian antiques have added prestige<br />

to the houses of the well-to-do from the time of<br />

their creation to the present.<br />

Like a stage set before the action begins, the show<br />

window in Milan displays a pair of chairs –<br />

Louis XVI, Louis XVIII? – a cabinet, silver<br />

candlesticks, porcelains and a three-wing screen.<br />

All of these antiques in the decades since the<br />

photo was taken have undoubtedly found their<br />

place in well appointed interiors.<br />

Milan, 1978
