Cummerbund Dressed Knife Note Piedmont Poms Possibly Racial
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the picturesque region of Piedmont, Italy during the 1930s, showcases the rich and vibrant traditional costumes of the Italian people. The image features a mother and son, both elegantly dressed in their regional attire, proudly displaying the unique cultural heritage of their community. The man, with a distinguished air, wears a traditional Italian shirt, complete with a colorful cummerbund adorned with intricate patterns. A striking accessory, a knife, is tucked into his cummerbund, a common element of traditional Italian costumes from the Piedmont region. This knife, known as a "bolla," was traditionally used for hunting and farming, but now serves as a symbol of the region's history and heritage. The woman, equally stunning, dons a voluminous, embroidered skirt, topped with a blouse adorned with intricate lace and sequins. Her boots, a striking feature of her attire, are embellished with pom-poms, adding a playful touch to her elegant ensemble. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when traditional customs and cultural heritage were deeply rooted in the daily lives of the Italian people. The image is a testament to the rich and diverse cultural tapestry of Italy, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions of the past.
