EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling city of Naples in the early 1900s. The image showcases a group of fishermen gathered on a weathered pier, their figures silhouetted against the backdrop of a vast seascape. The pier itself stands as an architectural marvel, its sturdy structure serving as both a transportation hub and a place for locals to gather and witness the ebb and flow of daily life. It is evident that this quay is not only functional but also holds great significance within the urban landscape. The fishermen, dressed in popular fashion of the time, are engrossed in their work and vocation. With nets draped over their shoulders and fishing equipment at hand, they epitomize dedication to their craft. Their presence adds depth to this scene, reminding us of the vital role these individuals play in sustaining their community through their laborious efforts. As our gaze extends beyond the pier towards the sea, we catch glimpses of distant ships dotting the horizon—a testament to Naples' maritime heritage. This view provides us with a sense of connection between land and water; it symbolizes both opportunity for trade and adventure while simultaneously representing potential danger lurking beneath its surface. In addition to capturing elements related directly to fishing culture, this photograph offers viewers an expansive view of Naples itself—its riverbanks stretching into infinity along with snippets of buildings peeking out from behind hillsides. This panoramic vista allows us to appreciate how seamlessly nature intertwines with urbanity in this coastal city. Brogi's masterful composition immortalizes an era long gone by while inviting contemplation about humanity's relationship with nature, work ethics, fashion trends, architectural achievements—and ultimately evoking nostalgia for simpler times when piers like these were vibrant hubs teeming with activity.
