EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An unusual show was seen a few days ago in Naples, in Piazza Plebiscito, which rebounded. . " by Achille Beltrame captures a remarkable moment in history. The image showcases the bustling Piazza Plebiscito filled with men and women dressed in elaborate late eighteenth-century costumes, creating an enchanting spectacle. The scene depicted here is not just a mere reenactment or celebration of history; it is actually the chaotic aftermath of a failed film production. A German film company had hired over one thousand three hundred extras to portray Admiral Nelson's historical and sentimental events. However, the agents responsible for paying these extras vanished with their money, leaving them unpaid and frustrated. Despite this setback, the photo reveals the dedication and commitment of these actors who remained fully immersed in their roles despite not receiving compensation. Their protest against this injustice reverberates through their high-shouting and tumultuous actions within the square. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on August 14-21,1921 perfectly captures this unique moment where reality intertwines with fiction. It serves as a testament to both the power of cinema as well as the resilience of those involved in its creation. This fascinating snapshot offers us a glimpse into early cinematography practices while also highlighting how even unforeseen circumstances can create unexpected beauty on screen.
