EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Macaroni-sellers in Naples" transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Italy. Taken around 1895 by Alinari, Fratelli, this print captures a vibrant scene filled with energy and commerce. In the foreground, we see a group of macaroni-sellers proudly displaying their wares. These vendors stand behind their makeshift stalls, showcasing an array of pasta varieties neatly arranged in baskets and barrels. Their faces are weathered but determined as they engage in the age-old trade of selling this beloved Italian staple. The architecture surrounding them tells its own story - narrow cobblestone streets lined with traditional buildings that exude character and history. The cityscape provides a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot of daily life in Naples. Amidst the flurry of activity, one can't help but notice the fashion choices of both sellers and customers alike. Men donning hats and long coats go about their business while women clad in modest dresses navigate through the crowd. This glimpse into late 19th-century fashion adds another layer to our understanding of this time period. Beyond being just a portrait or street scene, this photograph offers insight into more profound themes such as work ethic, culture, and sustenance. It serves as a reminder that food is not merely nourishment; it carries traditions and stories within its very essence. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this moment frozen in time – where aromas mingle with laughter amidst lively conversations about pasta shapes and flavors. Through his lens, he has captured not only an image but also a slice of Neapolitan heritage that continues to resonate today.
