EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of woman carrying a bowl, Scanno" transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Scanno in Abruzzo, Italy. Taken by the talented photographer Howells Vincenzo in 1907, this image beautifully captures the essence of traditional European culture. In the center of the frame stands a graceful woman dressed in an exquisite costume that reflects her cultural heritage. Her clothing is meticulously detailed with intricate patterns and textures, showcasing the rich fashion and clothing traditions of her region. With utmost elegance, she carries a bowl made from wrought metal – an object that symbolizes both functionality and artistic craftsmanship. The portrait not only highlights this woman's individual beauty but also serves as a window into Italian anthropology and ethnography. It offers us glimpses into the lives of Europeans who have preserved their customs for generations. The photo invites us to explore their folklore and understand how it shapes their identity. Scanno itself provides a stunning backdrop for this intimate moment frozen in time. Nestled amidst breathtaking landscapes, its cobbled streets wind through ancient buildings that seem untouched by modernity. This photograph encapsulates not just one person but represents an entire population and nationality deeply rooted in European origins. Vincenzo's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail: from the delicate features on her face to each fold on her garment. Through his lens, he immortalizes this fleeting moment forever etched within history. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari, our imagination takes flight as we envision ourselves walking alongside this enigmatic woman through Scanno's enchanting streets – experiencing firsthand the allure of Europe's diverse cultures captured within one extraordinary portrait.
