In this print titled "FVQ-F-152450-0000" we are transported back to the enchanting month of March in 1893. The image captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the expansion of the cemetery of Trespiano. As we delve into the scene, our attention is immediately drawn to a group of hardworking individuals who have gathered for an important task. The workers, dressed in their distinctive fashion and clothing typical of that era, epitomize unskilled laborers dedicated to their craft. Each person can be seen diligently engaged in excavating the last stretch of the drain with spades and wheelbarrows by their side. Their determination and commitment are evident as they work tirelessly under the watchful eye of an unidentified author. Amidst this bustling scene, one cannot help but notice elements that add depth and texture to the composition. A trunk lies nearby, perhaps belonging to one of these laborers or serving as a reminder of nature's presence amidst human endeavors. Vegetation surrounds them, providing a stark contrast between man-made structures and Mother Nature's creations. This photograph not only documents an essential infrastructure project but also serves as a testament to humanity's eternal connection with its final resting places. It allows us to reflect on how cemeteries hold stories untold yet deeply cherished within their grounds.
