EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of scruffy, barefoot children play and run amidst the ruins of Naples, Italy, circa 1961. The sun casts long shadows over the bombed-out buildings and debris-strewn streets, creating a stark contrast to the joy and energy of the youngsters. This scene unfolds on the Scunizzi, a notorious slum area of Naples, where many abandoned and orphaned children lived in squalid conditions. Amidst the chaos, Father Mario Borrelli, a Catholic priest, emerged as a beacon of hope for these street children. Known as the "Father of the Scugnizzi," Borrelli founded Casa dello Scugnizzo, or House of the Urchins, to provide shelter, education, and support for these children. Borrelli's efforts gained international recognition during the 1960s, a time when Italy was grappling with the aftermath of World War II and the challenges of modernization. The children in the photograph, dressed in tattered clothing and carrying simple wooden toys, seem oblivious to the hardships surrounding them. Their laughter and playfulness serve as a reminder of the resilience and spirit of children, even in the most difficult circumstances. The linen washing hung out to dry on the barracks in the background adds a sense of routine and domesticity to the scene, underscoring the daily struggles of life in the Naples slums during this era. Overall, this photograph captures a poignant moment in history, highlighting the courage and compassion of Father Borrelli and the indomitable spirit of the street children of Naples.
