EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "AVQ-A-000216-0037" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Naples in the early 1900s. The image showcases a vibrant group portrait, capturing the essence of costumes worn by locals during this era. Each individual exudes a distinct personality, adding depth and intrigue to the composition. The scene is alive with movement as some members of the group engage in lively dancing, while others are engrossed in various games and pastimes. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that were cherished by Neapolitans at that time. Both female and male figures grace this photograph, adorned in elaborate attire that reflects their social status or perhaps their involvement in specific festivities. The women's dresses boast intricate details and elegant accessories such as hats, which add an air of sophistication to their appearance. Meanwhile, men sport dapper suits complemented by stylish headwear. Intriguingly placed amidst this animated gathering is a tabouret stool—an object that piques curiosity about its purpose within this context. Its presence hints at deeper anthropological significance—perhaps it held symbolic value or served as a prop for certain rituals or performances associated with Naples' folklore. This remarkable piece from Alinari's collection allows us to immerse ourselves in history while contemplating the diverse facets of human culture captured through photography. It serves as a testament to our collective fascination with ethnography—a visual gateway connecting us across time and space.
