EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Brindisi, Italy, during the early 20th century. The image captures a lively scene at Porta Lecce, one of the city's iconic gateways. Standing tall with its military and defensive architecture, this structure served as both a protective fortification and a symbol of Brindisi's rich history. The photograph offers a glimpse into daily life in this vibrant Italian port town. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their business on Lecce Street, which stretches out before them. It is fascinating to observe the different modes of transportation used at that time – carts and wheelbarrows being pulled by horses or pushed by determined individuals. As we take in the view of the city through this lens from nearly a century ago, it becomes evident how much has changed over time. The walls surrounding Brindisi have witnessed countless stories unfold within their ancient embrace. What truly brings this image to life is the sense of action captured within its frame. People are engaged in animated conversations while others hurry along with purposeful strides. This snapshot encapsulates not only a physical place but also an atmosphere filled with energy and movement. Alinari Fratelli masterfully composed this photograph, showcasing their skill in capturing moments frozen in time. Their artistry allows us to appreciate not just the architectural beauty but also provides insight into everyday existence during that era. This print serves as a reminder that even though years may pass and cities may evolve, there will always be traces left behind – fragments of history waiting for us to discover and cherish anew.
