EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the courtyard of the Albergo della Luna, also known as the Moon Hotel, in Amalfi. Taken between 1879 and 1910, it offers a glimpse into daily life at this enchanting Italian retreat. In the foreground, we see attendants diligently working around a well. Dressed in traditional servant attire, their clothing reflects the fashion of that era. The image captures a moment frozen in time – a snapshot of housework and labor within this grand establishment. The architecture surrounding them is strikingly beautiful. The building elements showcase intricate details and decorative sections that add to its charm. This stunning architectural design seamlessly blends with the hydraulic structure of the well, highlighting both form and function. A group portrait reveals not only these hardworking individuals but also an amphora nearby – an object used for storing liquids such as water or wine. Its presence adds depth to our understanding of daily life during this period. Amidst all these visual delights lies Amalfi itself – a picturesque town located on Italy's Campania coast. Known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich history, Amalfi has long been a favorite destination for Europeans seeking beauty and tranquility. As we observe this scene captured by Brogi from Alinari, we are reminded not only of the people who inhabited this space but also their culture and heritage. It serves as a window into European anthropology, ethnography, folklore - offering insights into population dynamics and nationalities prevalent during that time. This remarkable print evokes nostalgia while simultaneously igniting curiosity about life within those walls over a century ago. It is truly an exquisite piece capturing both historical significance and artistic brilliance.
