EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the preparation of ricotta, a traditional Italian cheese, in a facsimile after an ancient 15th-century manuscript called "Tacuinum sanitatis". The original manuscript is housed in the Biblioteca Braidense in Milan, Lombardy. The image transports us back to a time when craftsmanship and tradition were at the heart of food production. In this scene, we see a skilled craftsman working diligently in his kitchen. With focused determination, he tends to a pot filled with milk while using various instruments specific to this regional specialty. A young girl stands nearby, observing and learning from her experienced mentor. This depiction highlights the passing down of knowledge through generations and emphasizes the importance of preserving culinary traditions. The photograph beautifully captures not only the labor-intensive process involved but also the human connection between people and their food supply. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, individuals took great care in producing nourishing sustenance for their communities. Giancarlo Costa's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic beauty present within this medium age scene. Through this image, we are transported back to fifteenth-century Italy—a time where cheese-making was not just an occupation but an art form deeply rooted in cultural heritage.
