EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to Naples in the late 19th century. A group of men and women stand proudly amidst a sea of amphorae, their faces reflecting both curiosity and familiarity with these ancient vessels. In the center of the frame, an imposing arch stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. It serves as a backdrop for this bustling scene, where life intertwines with history. On the right side, a cart pulled by a sturdy mule adds an element of movement and practicality to this tableau. The people depicted here are dressed in fashion typical of their era - women donning long dresses while men sport hats or headdresses that hint at their social status or occupation. Their clothing choices reflect both functionality for daytime activities and style influenced by prevailing trends. As we peer into this snapshot from over a century ago, we witness not only human activity but also glimpses of daily life. The presence of amphorae suggests trade or perhaps even local production within Naples during that period. These large clay containers were used for storing various goods such as wine, oil, or grain – essential commodities that sustained communities through generations. Through Brogi's lens, we are transported into an era when transportation relied on wheels rather than engines; when architecture served as more than just shelter but also adorned cities with grandeur; when everyday objects like carts played crucial roles in moving goods across land. This print is not merely an image captured on paper; it is an invitation to explore history through visual storytelling – reminding us how our ancestors lived and thrived amidst timeless landscapes like Naples.
