EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly captivating print titled "PDC-S-004275-0008" we are transported back to the cobblestone streets of 1870, where a post mortem portrait of a brigand lies before us. The image, captured by Salvatore Lo Cascio, exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. The male subject in the photograph is depicted with meticulous detail, his lifeless form resting on the unforgiving cobblestones. This posthumous portrayal offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those involved in brigandism during this era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences that often befell those who chose such paths. Beyond its individual narrative, this photograph also speaks volumes about society and politics at large. By focusing on a brigand's portrait, Lo Cascio delves into questions surrounding personhood and social status within communities shaped by lawlessness and rebellion. Such scenes were not uncommon during times when brigands challenged authority and became symbols of resistance against oppressive regimes. Notably present in the composition is a gun lying beside the fallen figure—a powerful object that symbolizes both violence and power struggles inherent to these turbulent times. Additionally, our attention is drawn to the cartridge belt adorning his waist—an emblematic accessory associated with weaponry commonly used by outlaws. Lo Cascio's masterful craftsmanship captures more than just an individual; it encapsulates an entire social phenomenon—one deeply intertwined with history itself. Through this evocative image, we are invited to reflect upon how societal circumstances can shape individuals' choices while contemplating broader themes related to justice, rebellion, and human resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Alinari's collection—let us remember that beyond its artistic value lies an invaluable historical document offering insights into humanity's complex tapestry throughout time.
