EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Pastiera, a macaroni factory in Palermo, Italy. Taken around 1880, it offers a glimpse into the bustling world of commerce and trade during that era. The image showcases the impressive structure of the factory, standing tall against the backdrop of Palermo's vibrant streets. Its architectural beauty is evident as every intricate detail is captured by Giorgio Sommer's lens. The solid structure exudes an air of grandeur and speaks to the importance of pasta production in this region. In front of the factory, we see a group portrait featuring both men and women dressed in fashionable clothing typical for that time period. Their attire reflects their pride in their work and adds a touch of elegance to this industrial scene. This photograph not only documents an important industry but also provides insight into Sicilian culture. The people depicted are Europeans or individuals with European origins who contribute to the rich tapestry of population and nationality found in Sicily. Sommer's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the physical aspects but also feel connected to those who worked tirelessly within these walls. It serves as a reminder that behind every thriving business lies hardworking individuals dedicated to their craft. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how past generations contributed to shaping our present-day culinary traditions. This photo encapsulates both history and artistry while celebrating Sicily's role as a hub for pasta production throughout Europe.
