EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Genoa, Italy's Piazza Caricamento, circa 1890. The scene is filled with a vibrant mix of people, animals, and transportation methods, all working in harmony to facilitate trade and commerce in this historic Italian city. At the heart of the square, carts, barrows, and wagons are piled high with various goods, ready to be transported to their destinations. Merchants in traditional Italian attire haggle over prices with potential buyers, their voices adding to the lively atmosphere. Horses, both working and resting, are a common sight, their powerful presence a reminder of the importance of animal power in transportation during this era. In the background, trams, or 'tramvai,' make their way through the square, providing an early form of public transportation for the city's residents. The arrival of the trams signaled the beginning of the end for horse-drawn transport, as they offered a faster and more efficient means of travel. The date of this photograph, August, places it during the summer months, when the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Genoa, a city that has long been a hub for trade and commerce in the Mediterranean. Photographed by Alfred Noack, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the daily life and bustling activity of Piazza Caricamento in Genoa, Italy, over a century ago.
