EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the intricate and varied gestures of contemporary Neapolitans, as described by Jorio in 1893. The focus is on the gesture of thumbing the nose, which surprisingly has a whopping 20 different meanings within Neapolitan culture. This historical image provides a glimpse into the rich customs and traditions of this vibrant community.
The significance of gestures in communication cannot be understated, especially when each movement can convey such nuanced meanings. From expressions of defiance to signals of affection, these gestures offer a window into the complex social dynamics at play in Naples during this time period.
Jorio's exploration of these gestures sheds light on the deep-rooted history and cultural practices that have shaped Neapolitan society for generations. By capturing these moments frozen in time, we are able to appreciate the artistry and complexity behind even seemingly simple actions like thumbing one's nose.
As we study this image, we are reminded that every movement carries with it layers of meaning and symbolism that may not always be immediately apparent to outsiders. It serves as a reminder to approach unfamiliar customs with an open mind and a willingness to learn about the diverse ways in which people express themselves around the world.
