EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the year 1907, offering a glimpse into the bustling drying area of a macaroni company in Naples, Italy. The image showcases an industrial marvel, where rows upon rows of pasta strands are meticulously hung to dry, creating a mesmerizing pattern that stretches as far as the eye can see. The scene exudes an aura of productivity and precision, with workers carefully tending to each strand of pasta. The sheer scale of this operation is awe-inspiring; it speaks volumes about the demand for this beloved Italian staple even over a century ago. As we take in the sight before us, we cannot help but appreciate the intricate architecture and structure that supports this vast drying area. Beyond its industrial significance, this photograph also offers glimpses into daily life within Naples itself. In the background, we catch sight of buildings and rooftops that form part of the city's unique skyline. This juxtaposition between urban landscape and manufacturing prowess adds depth to our understanding of both Napoli's history and its culinary heritage. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captures not only objects or structures but also evokes emotions through his lens. Looking at this print sparks thoughts about food culture, diet choices, and how something as simple as dried pasta can play such a significant role in people's lives worldwide. As we admire Alinari Fratelli's work from afar today, let us be transported back to early 20th-century Naples – appreciating not just an image frozen in time but also reflecting on how food production has evolved while still remaining rooted in tradition.
