EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to the environs of Rome during the early 20th century. The image showcases a serene plain, seemingly untouched by modernity, where three coal burners find respite from their laborious work. The central focus of the photo is undoubtedly these hardworking individuals who have momentarily paused amidst their daily grind. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects both civilian and military influences, they wear hats and headdresses that speak to their cultural identity. These men represent not only the working class but also embody a sense of resilience and dedication. Surrounded by nature's beauty, with vast flatlands stretching as far as the eye can see, it becomes evident how integral transportation was in this era. A wooden cart wheelbarrow stands nearby along with an umbrella providing shelter from the elements. A cage hints at possible avian companionship or perhaps even a means for additional income through bird trade. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when life revolved around manual labor and close connection with nature. It offers us a glimpse into history while simultaneously evoking feelings of nostalgia for an era long gone. Brogi's skillful composition captures not just people at rest but also tells a larger story about society's reliance on coal burning during this period. This photograph transcends its status as mere object or applied art; it becomes a window into our past - one that invites contemplation on progress, tradition, and humanity's relationship with both each other and our environment.
