1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Corso 18 Agosto, Potenza, Basilicata, Italy (1919)" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Corso 18 Agosto in Potenza, Basilicata, Italy, in the year 1919. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich history and vibrant culture of this beautiful Italian city. Corso 18 Agosto, the main thoroughfare of Potenza, is named after the historic event that took place on August 18, 1860. It was on this day that the city, then part of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, was liberated from the Bourbon rule and joined the newly formed Kingdom of Italy. The event is celebrated every year with a grand procession and festivities, which continue to this day. In this photograph, we see the Corso teeming with activity. Horse-drawn carts and carriages line the cobblestone streets, while people go about their daily business. Children play in the streets, and vendors sell their wares from the open doors of their shops. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, a testament to the resilient spirit of the people of Potenza. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty of Potenza. The buildings along the Corso are a mix of Baroque, Neoclassical, and modern styles, reflecting the city's rich history and cultural influences. The imposing facade of the Duomo di Potenza, the city's cathedral, can be seen in the background, a reminder of the city's deep-rooted religious traditions. This photograph is a precious reminder of the past, offering us a glimpse into the history and culture of Potenza, Basilicata, Italy.
