EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A cart pulled by a mule, market in Vittorio Emanuele II square" transports us back to the bustling streets of Rome during the early 20th century. The image captures a vibrant scene filled with elements that depict the essence of commerce and trade. In the foreground, we see a vendor standing proudly beside his cart, which is being dutifully pulled by a strong mule. The scale instrument on top of the cart suggests that this merchant deals with measuring goods for sale. Surrounding him are various food items neatly arranged on display, enticing passersby with their freshness and abundance. The backdrop showcases an array of movable structures and tents that form part of this lively market scene. Traditional architecture frames the square, adding character to the overall composition. Both men and women can be seen strolling along or engaging in transactions, dressed in fashion typical of that era. Transportation plays a significant role as well; aside from carts like this one being used for transporting goods over land routes, trees and vegetation line the street providing shade for weary travelers. A wooden wheelbarrow nearby adds another layer to this snapshot of daily life. The presence of animals such as mules reminds us of their crucial role in transportation during those times when automobiles were not yet prevalent. These terrestrial mammals were vital companions for traders who relied on them heavily to transport their wares across long distances. Overall, Brogi's skillful capture allows us to immerse ourselves into this historical moment where commerce thrived amidst traditional customs and practices. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors conducted business before modern advancements transformed our world into what it is today.
