Did you know that the game of tennis, which requires maximum concentration, is played mostly by brain and heart surgeons? However, our subject is not tennis, but the Foro Italico complex on the outskirts of Rome's Monte Mario, built in 1932, where tennis is played in this photo frame. The Romans always manage to make people feel like they are in Rome. Those carefully pruned trees in the background and the statues surrounding the court are magnificent.. Some figures from the Ancient Greek Period suggest that many sports competitions were held naked at that time. Although I believe that competing naked represents a divine power, I'm sure it was motivating for the athletes to also show off their beautiful bodies. It is possible to perceive the concept of time by seeing the change. A shot that witnesses the state of this sport, which was started by the nobles of the French palaces in the 1800s, in this century. Looking from where the photo was taken, my camera is actually like a spectator.
