EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ciociara girls" with the typical stockings called "ciocie", in the province of Rome, takes us back to a simpler time. Captured by Arnaldi Edith in 1935, it beautifully portrays two young women dressed in traditional costumes that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Italy. The image showcases these Ciociara girls wearing their distinctive ciocie stockings, which are an integral part of their attire. These unique stockings add a touch of authenticity to their outfits and serve as a reminder of the region's deep-rooted traditions. Both women exude an air of serenity as they pose for this portrait. Their expressions hint at years spent working on the land and embracing a way of life deeply connected to nature. The viewer can almost feel the sun-kissed fields and smell the earthy scent surrounding them. Their clothing reflects both practicality and fashion sense. From headscarves to layered skirts, every detail is carefully chosen to represent their identity as rural dwellers. Notably, their sandals complete this ensemble perfectly – simple yet sturdy footwear that allows them to navigate through rugged terrain effortlessly. Arnaldi Edith's skillful composition captures not only these two individuals but also offers us a glimpse into an entire world steeped in tradition and hard work. This photograph serves as a timeless tribute to those who dedicated themselves to farming and country life during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let it transport us back in time while reminding us of our roots and honoring those who came before us – celebrating both individual stories like these Ciociara girls' portraits while appreciating collective histories woven into fabrications such as clothing choices or accessories like sandals or stockings.
