EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless scene of everyday life in Rome during the early 20th century. Two women, dressed in traditional peasant clothing, stand proudly by the majestic fountain of Porta Furba on via Tuscolana. With buckets filled to the brim with water, they fulfill their daily task of fetching water for their households. As these diligent women go about their work, a magnificent horse takes respite from its journey at the fountain's edge. The graceful creature bends down to drink from the cool waters, creating a harmonious juxtaposition between human labor and animal instinct. The fountain itself stands as an impressive hydraulic structure, showcasing exquisite architecture that was typical of civic spaces during that era. Its basin glistens under the Roman sun, reflecting both history and practicality. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only scenes of transportation but also glimpses into fashion and clothing styles prevalent at that time. The women's attire speaks volumes about their social status and occupation while adding depth to this rural tableau. The presence of a wheel or cart wheelbarrow hints at further activities taking place nearby—a reminder that life continues beyond what is captured within this frame. Brogi's masterful composition immortalizes an ordinary moment against the backdrop of Rome's rich history. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring connection with nature and our unwavering dedication to fulfilling our responsibilities—whether it be through fetching water or tending to animals. This print transports us back in time and invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with labor, tradition, and community—a powerful reminder that even mundane tasks can hold profound beauty when seen through an artist's lens.
