EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "CAD-S-010008-0001" we are transported back in time to the early 1900s. The image captures a group of individuals enjoying a delightful picnic amidst the stunning Red Mountains near Catania. The scene is filled with an abundance of details that offer us glimpses into their lives and surroundings. A flask and kitchenwares sit atop a checkered cloth, indicating that food and drink were prepared for this outing. This raises questions about the diet and eating habits of these people from another era. The group appears relaxed as they engage in conversation while savoring their meal. Bread, a staple solid food item, can be seen on plates held by some members of the gathering. Their attire varies greatly; some wear hats or headdresses which may signify their civilian, military, or religious affiliations. Fashion and clothing play an important role in this portrait as well - each person's outfit reflects the style prevalent during that period. It is fascinating to observe how fashion has evolved over time. A large basket lies open nearby, suggesting it contains additional items necessary for their picnic adventure. Other objects scattered around them add further intrigue to this snapshot frozen in time. This print by Aurelio Monteverde offers us not only a glimpse into history but also invites our imagination to fill in the gaps left untold by its silent subjects. As we ponder upon this moment captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how much has changed yet how certain aspects of human connection remain timeless - like sharing meals together amidst nature's beauty.
