EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to the bustling piazza of Naples around 1890. A group of men, women, and children have gathered together, forming a lively scene filled with warmth and camaraderie. The focal point of the image is a cluster of people seated around some large pots. It seems they are engaged in cooking or perhaps enjoying a communal meal together. To their right, an enticing display of meats is laid out on a table, tempting passersby with its savory aroma. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we notice a staircase leading up to an unknown destination. This architectural element adds depth to the composition while hinting at hidden stories waiting to be discovered within the city's labyrinthine streets. The surrounding architecture showcases typical Neapolitan characteristics: intricate doorways adorned with decorative elements and sections that speak volumes about the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The walls exude history and charm as they bear witness to countless tales unfolding within their embrace. Amidst this vibrant setting, both men and women can be seen donning fashionable clothing indicative of the period's style. Children playfully scamper about wearing shoes that reflect their youthful energy. Various hats adorn heads - civilian, military or religious headdresses - adding flair to each individual's unique identity. Aediculas dotting the square serve as miniature shrines or works of art dedicated to spiritual devotion or public admiration. They add an air of reverence amidst all the liveliness taking place around them. Finally, our gaze falls upon a copper pan resting on one step; it tells us stories untold – what culinary delights were created within its depths? Brogi has masterfully frozen this moment in time for us to cherish forever—a snapshot capturing not only faces but also emotions shared among families and friends gathered in Naples' heartwarming piazza over a century ago.
