EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Group of 'Pifferari' (beggars and walking musicians from Italy) leaving the province of Abbruzzo to Naples on the occasion of Holy Week" offers a glimpse into the lives of impoverished yet resilient individuals in 19th-century Italy. The image, featured in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'364 on April 2,1864, showcases a group of nomadic musicians embarking on a journey during Holy Week. The pifferari were known as beggars who relied on their musical talents to earn a meager living. In this print by Stefano Bianchetti, we witness their departure from Abbruzzo province towards Naples. Despite their destitution and hardship, there is an undeniable sense of unity and determination among them. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of these wandering minstrels with intricate details that evoke both admiration and sympathy. Their tattered clothing speaks volumes about their poverty-stricken existence while simultaneously highlighting their resilience in pursuing their passion for music. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important cultural tradition during Holy Week in Italy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, art can flourish and provide solace for those facing hardships. Stefano Bianchetti's portrayal not only immortalizes these marginalized figures but also sheds light on societal issues such as poverty and inequality that persist throughout history.
