EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Child with drum and cylinder, traditionally called 'player Putaputa Caccavello', a street in Naples" takes us back to the late 19th century in Italy. The image, captured between 1880-1890, showcases a young child adorned in a top hat and headdress, holding both a drum and cylinder. The photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of this child who is immersed in music at such an early age. The tabor drum held by the young boy symbolizes his connection to the rich musical traditions of Naples. It serves as both an instrument and document of his passion for music. However, beyond its musical significance, this portrait also sheds light on the social conditions prevalent during that era. The poverty-stricken backdrop hints at the harsh realities faced by many children living on the streets of Naples. This scene invites contemplation about society's responsibility towards its most vulnerable members. Moreover, this photograph provides valuable insights into Italian history within a broader European context. It captures not only individual aspects but also reflects upon larger themes such as population dynamics and national identity. As we delve into this historical artifact from Alinari's collection, it becomes evident that it holds immense anthropological value too. Its depiction of fashion choices and accessories reveals cultural nuances specific to Italians or those of European origins. In summary, this thought-provoking print encapsulates multiple dimensions - from childhood innocence to societal challenges - while offering glimpses into Italy's past through visual storytelling.
