EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Mario Gabinio in 1924, transports us to the bustling market of Turin. The image captures a group of female roast chestnut vendors, their faces etched with determination and resilience. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the fashion trends of the time, these women embody strength and hard work. The scene is set against a backdrop of various stands and structures, each adorned with signs displaying enticing messages written in bold letters. These signs serve as instruments of communication between the vendors and potential customers, drawing them closer to indulge in this delectable Italian treat. In the foreground lies an array of wooden baskets overflowing with freshly roasted chestnuts - a symbol of sustenance and warmth during those crisp autumn days. The rich vegetation surrounding the market adds a touch of natural beauty to this vibrant scene. To shield themselves from the elements while conducting business, these resourceful women have erected beach umbrellas above their stalls. This practical solution not only protects them from both sun and rain but also creates an inviting atmosphere for passersby. Through Gabinio's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and entrepreneurial spirit exhibited by these itinerant food vendors. Their presence at this lively marketplace speaks volumes about their vocation - one rooted in hard work and perseverance. As we admire this remarkable print captured over nine decades ago by Mario Gabinio for Alinari, we cannot help but be reminded that behind every successful commerce lies individuals who dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to their craft – just like these resilient female roast chestnut vendors at Turin's historic market.
