EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented photographer Brogi, transports us back in time to the bustling Vittorio Emanuele II square in Rome during the early 20th century. The scene is alive with energy as street vendors proudly display their own products amidst a sea of market stalls. The image showcases an array of objects and crafts that were integral to daily life at that time. A wooden chair stands prominently, symbolizing both rest and commerce. Nearby, a straw basket overflows with goods, inviting passersby to explore its contents. Itinerant vendors can be seen engaging potential customers, their clothing reflecting the fashion trends of the era – from civilian hats to military headdresses and even religious accessories. Amidst this vibrant marketplace setting, nature finds its place too. A brier plant adds a touch of greenery while beach umbrellas dotting the square provide shade for both buyers and sellers alike. Brogi's photograph beautifully captures not only the spirit of trade but also highlights how people worked diligently within these structures and sites to make a living. Aprons worn by some vendors suggest hands-on craftsmanship or culinary expertise. It is important to note that this print belongs to Alinari's collection; however, we must refrain from mentioning any commercial use associated with it. Instead, let us appreciate this snapshot frozen in time – a testament to human ingenuity and resilience as individuals navigate through their daily lives amidst the vibrant tapestry of Rome's historical streetscape.
