EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portrait of the Giannelli family" offers a glimpse into the lives of an Italian family in the early 20th century. Taken on July 31,1912, by renowned photographer Michele Schemboche from Alinari, this image captures a moment frozen in time. In the center of the frame sits the patriarch of the family, his presence commanding attention. Seated next to him are his wife and adult son, their expressions revealing a sense of pride and unity. Standing in front of them is their youngest daughter, perched delicately on a balustrade with her older sister beside her. The contrast between their youthful innocence and their parents' maturity creates an intriguing dynamic within the composition. The attire worn by each family member provides insight into fashion trends during that era. The mother's elegant dress exudes sophistication while her husband dons a formal suit complete with a tie as a symbol of status and refinement. Notably, he holds an accessory fan—a subtle nod to both practicality and style. The backdrop features lush vegetation which adds depth to this intimate scene. It serves as a reminder that even amidst societal changes and political shifts happening at that time, families like the Giannellis found solace in nature's embrace. This print not only captures individual personalities but also tells us about social dynamics within society—highlighting themes such as personhood, civil status, and familial bonds transcending generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago by Schemboche's lens, we can't help but feel connected to these individuals who lived long before our time—their story forever etched onto photographic paper for us to explore today.
