Pedro Momini :: Italian acrobat Santin Vanzella, from Raffetto Circus, balancing with
one hand poses for the photo on the top of the ‘Moving Stone’. The
acrobat chose to promote his show there while his companions did it
walking on cables lying between different buildings of the city of Tandil, Argentina.
The photograph records the final moment of Vanzella’s display doing handstands, first with both arms and finally is held for a few seconds
only with his right arm. This
is one of the most striking images of the ‘Piedra Movediza’ that was taken
by the photographer Pedro Momini, whose shadow appears in the bottom,
and was published in the magazine Caras y Caretas in the edition of May
5, 1900. / src: viral diario
