EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Leiss Ferruccio, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Calle San Rocco in Venice. The focal point of the image is a shop window belonging to a local butcher, which serves as a fascinating glimpse into daily life during the mid-1940s. The scene depicted within the shop window is one that exudes authenticity and craftsmanship. Various cuts of meat are proudly displayed on wooden boards, showcasing the skillful work of the butcher. Each piece appears solid and succulent, tempting passersby with its mouthwatering appeal. The attention to detail in arranging these meats reflects not only an appreciation for quality food but also an artistry that has been passed down through generations. Beyond its culinary significance, this photograph captures more than just food; it encapsulates a sense of community and communication. The writing on signs adorning the shop window provides essential information about prices and offerings, acting as means of communication between customers and vendors. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate how such simple elements – furniture, furnishings, objects – can tell stories about our past. This particular print from Alinari allows us to immerse ourselves in history while reminding us that even mundane scenes can hold great significance when viewed through a different lens. Leiss Ferruccio's masterful composition invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with food and how it connects us not only with sustenance but also with culture and tradition. It reminds us that behind every storefront lies countless stories waiting to be discovered if we take a moment to truly observe our surroundings.
