EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century, titled "A family of pulcinella devouring pasta" transports us to a lively scene in Italy's past. The artwork, created by Italian School artist Luisa Ricciarini, depicts a large family of pulcinellas - iconic characters from the commedia dell'arte tradition - indulging in a feast of pasta. The composition is filled with vibrant details that bring this moment to life. Each member of the family is adorned in colorful costumes and masks, adding an air of playfulness to the scene. The children eagerly dig into their plates while their parents enjoy glasses of red wine, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere. Ricciarini's skillful use of lithography captures every nuance and expression on each character's face, highlighting their joyous anticipation as they savor this simple pleasure together. This print not only celebrates daily life but also explores themes such as childhood innocence, gluttony, and the importance of familial bonds. Displayed at the Museo Nazionale delle Paste Alimentari in Rome, this artwork serves as a reminder of Italy's rich culinary heritage and its deep-rooted traditions surrounding food and family. It invites viewers to appreciate both the artistry behind this lithograph and the cultural significance it represents within Italian history.
