This photograph, taken in the bustling streets of Rome around 1900-1910, transports us to a bygone era filled with stories untold. In the center of the frame sits an injured man, his weary face etched with pain and hardship. Perched upon a wooden cart that serves as both his shelter and plea for compassion, he reaches out to passersby in search of alms.
