EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Calabrian shepherd from Italy, dating back to approximately 1850. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life of Southern Italy during the mid-19th century. The shepherd, dressed in traditional attire, stands proudly against a backdrop of rugged terrain and rolling hills. His fur-trimmed waistcoat, worn over a simple white shirt and dark trousers, is a testament to the harsh climate and rugged conditions of the region. The shepherd's fur hat, or "cappello calabrese," protects him from the elements, while the thick, woolen gloves on his hands keep his fingers warm. A sturdy staff is slung over his shoulder, ready for use in tending to his flock. The shepherd's expression is one of quiet determination, reflecting the resilience and strength required to live and work in such a challenging environment. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that have shaped the Calabrian region of Italy, and serves as a poignant reminder of the connection between people and the land they call home.
