EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era as an elderly couple strolls gracefully beside the bustling market stalls in Vittorio Emanuele II square, Rome. The image, dating back to 1900-1910 approximately, offers a glimpse into the vibrant textile and craft scene that once thrived in this historical location. The market stalls stand proudly in the background, showcasing an array of colorful fabrics and objects that would have undoubtedly caught the eye of passersby. The architecture surrounding them adds to the charm of this snapshot from history. As we observe closely, we notice crates and tents serving as movable structures for commerce and trade. The couple themselves are dressed impeccably in traditional attire, reflecting both fashion trends of their time as well as their own personal style choices. The woman's clothing is adorned with intricate details while her male companion exudes elegance with his hat and cane. Their accessories such as purses and shoes further emphasize their attention to detail. As they walk side by side on this road journey through life together, one cannot help but admire their timeless gracefulness amidst a changing world. It is evident that they carry with them not just physical belongings but also stories etched deep within their hearts. Brogi's skillful composition allows us to witness not only a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into transportation methods prevalent during those years - wheels turning on carts or wheelbarrows can be spotted nearby. In summary, this remarkable photograph encapsulates multiple facets - from applied arts and crafts to architectural beauty; from fashion statements to scenes of everyday life; all captured through Brogi's lens at Vittorio Emanuele II square over a century ago.
