EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a haunting glimpse into the life and death of Giacomo Serra-Sanna, an infamous brigand from Italy's history. Taken in 1899 by Magnanelli L. , this posthumous portrait reveals both the individual and societal aspects surrounding this enigmatic figure. Giacomo Serra-Sanna's face tells a story of hardship and resilience. His weathered features bear witness to a life lived on the fringes of society, as he navigated through Italy's tumultuous political landscape. As a soldier turned bandit, his portrait reflects not only his physical appearance but also delves into his psychological state at the time. The photograph serves as evidence of a social phenomenon prevalent during that era - brigandism. It sheds light on how individuals like Serra-Sanna resorted to crime due to various circumstances such as poverty or political unrest. This image invites us to contemplate the complex interplay between person and social status within Italian society at that time. Furthermore, this post mortem portrait hints at darker elements surrounding Serra-Sanna's demise. The mention of homicide suggests that his life ended violently, adding another layer to this already intriguing narrative. As we delve deeper into Italy's history, it becomes clear that events like these shaped contemporary nations' histories, populations, territories, and even armed forces' military lives. This photograph stands as a testament to those turbulent times when lawlessness clashed with authority. Magnanelli L. 's skillful composition allows us to connect with Giacomo Serra-Sanna on an intimate level despite being separated by more than a century. Through this photo print, we are reminded that behind every historical event lies real people who experienced joy and sorrow just like us – their stories forever imprinted in the annals of time.
