EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-142128-0000" transports us back in time to the vibrant grape festival held in Bengasi. The image captures a delightful scene of festivity and merriment as a float representing the trattoria "del bersagliere" parades through the streets. Dating back to approximately 1935-1940, this photograph showcases not only the joyous atmosphere of the festival but also provides a glimpse into various elements of communication and architecture prevalent during that era. The arches and building elements serve as a backdrop for the beautifully decorated float, highlighting both ephemeral structures created specifically for this occasion and permanent architectural features. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that festivals were an integral part of community life, offering opportunities for leisure activities such as games and pastimes. A cart wheelbarrow can be seen on the road nearby, symbolizing transportation by land during those times. The street scene depicted here is bustling with action - people are gathered around to witness this spectacle while others engage in conversations or simply enjoy their surroundings. This lively view also offers glimpses of the cityscape beyond, providing us with a sense of place within Bengasi. Captured by Dinami V. , this print from Alinari allows us to immerse ourselves in an enchanting moment filled with celebration and cultural significance. It serves as a testament to how festivities bring communities together while showcasing historical aspects such as architecture, transportation methods, and scenes depicting daily life during that period.
