Core Basilicata Matrimonio Signore
EDITORS COMMENTS
Un matrimonio in Basilicata - il braccio al signore il core" (A Marriage in Basilicata - the heart at the lord's side), dated April 1880, is a poignant and evocative image that captures the essence of a traditional Italian wedding in the region of Basilicata. The photograph depicts a young bride, dressed in her finest, standing next to her groom, both with their hands joined and gazing into each other's eyes. The groom's left hand rests on the right shoulder of an older man, who is dressed in the traditional attire of a "cafone" or rural laborer. The scene takes place in a simple, rustic setting, with the sun casting long shadows on the ground and the couple surrounded by a few guests. The bride's veil is adorned with delicate lace, and her dress is made of heavy, flowing fabric, indicative of the importance placed on the bride's appearance in traditional Italian weddings. The groom wears a formal suit, complete with a bow tie and a top hat. The presence of the cafone, a symbol of the couple's connection to the land and their community, adds a sense of authenticity and tradition to the image. In Basilicata, it was customary for the groom to seek the blessing of the oldest male relative or community elder at the wedding ceremony. This gesture signified the couple's commitment to their community and their role as providers and caretakers of the land. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the customs and traditions of a bygone era. It is a beautiful and poignant reminder of the deep connections that bind families and communities together, and the importance of honoring the past while embracing the future.
