EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Zenker Otto on June 19th, 1957, transports us back in time to the vibrant streets of Ravenna. The image captures a delightful scene of ice cream sellers with their fun kiosks, adding a touch of whimsy to the bustling cityscape. In this snapshot frozen in history, we see itinerant vendors proudly standing next to their charming carts and wheelbarrows adorned with colorful signs advertising their delectable treats. These entrepreneurial individuals were an integral part of the commerce and trade that animated Ravenna's streets during those days. The ice cream sellers themselves are portrayed as hardworking individuals who take pride in their craft. Their faces radiate joy as they serve up scoops of creamy goodness to eager customers passing by. One can almost taste the sweetness lingering in the air. The architecture surrounding these mobile stalls is equally fascinating. The commercial structures resemble tents or movable objects cleverly designed for convenience and mobility. They seamlessly blend into the urban landscape while providing shade from the scorching sun for both vendor and customer alike. Zenker Otto's composition skillfully captures not only the essence of these ice cream sellers but also provides a glimpse into daily life in mid-20th century Ravenna. This print serves as a testament to how even something as simple as enjoying an icy treat on a hot summer day has been cherished throughout generations. As we gaze at this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are reminded that some things never change – like our love for delicious food shared amidst lively street scenes – regardless of time or place
