EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured around 1870 in Naples, Italy, we are transported back in time to witness a man dressed as Pulcinella. This intriguing image showcases the rich tradition of masquerade and costume prevalent during that era. The subject of the photo stands proudly before us, embodying the essence of Pulcinella with his elaborate attire. His outfit is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail that went into creating such costumes. From his distinctive hat adorned with feathers to his voluminous ruffled collar cascading down his chest, every element exudes an air of theatricality. As we gaze into his eyes, there is a sense of mystery lingering beneath the mask he wears. The mask itself carries its own significance - symbolizing anonymity and allowing individuals to adopt different personas during festivities or performances. This portrait not only captures one man's transformation but also provides insight into Italian culture at that time. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be used as a form of self-expression and celebration within society. Giorgio Conrad skillfully immortalizes this moment through photography, freezing it in time for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, he offers us an intimate glimpse into European folklore and ethnography by showcasing traditional dress from Naples. As we observe this remarkable print from Alinari today, let us marvel at the craftsmanship behind Pulcinella's ensemble while pondering upon the cultural heritage it represents.
