EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Folklore scene with typical Neapolitan figures" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of Italy during the late 19th century. The photomontage, captured by Giorgio Sommer between 1875 and 1880, beautifully showcases various aspects of Italian culture and tradition. In this lively scene, we witness a group of individuals engaging in different activities that reflect their daily lives. From drinking and eating habits to work and vocation, each person is depicted with meticulous attention to detail. The armed forces and military life are also represented here, highlighting the significance of defense in Italian society. The photograph offers a glimpse into studies and research as well; it serves as an invaluable document for anthropologists studying European populations' customs and traditions during that era. Moreover, it captures moments filled with joyous dancing, games, pastimes, music performances led by a talented musician playing the guitar alongside another individual skillfully handling a tabor drum. Notably present are members of the clergy representing Christian religion amidst this diverse group portrait. Traditional clothing worn by both men and women adds authenticity to the scene while showcasing fashion trends prevalent at that time. Various objects such as hats, pipes, bottles, and drums further enhance our understanding of everyday life in Italy during this period. This print allows us to appreciate not only Italian culture but also provides valuable insights into European origins through its depiction of people from different nationalities residing within Europe. Giorgio Sommer's masterful composition transports viewers back in time while offering an opportunity for reflection on how societies have evolved over centuries. It serves as a testament to his skill as a photographer capturing moments frozen forever on film.
