EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-064503-0000" transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The image captures a mesmerizing scene of a group of women diligently washing laundry in the enchanting Fontana delle 99 Cannelle, located in L'Aquila. The photograph beautifully showcases the architectural marvel that is the fountain itself. With its intricate design and multiple channels, it stands as a testament to both house and housing structures of that era. The fusion of artistry and functionality is evident in this hydraulic masterpiece. Water, one of nature's primary elements, takes center stage in this snapshot. It flows gracefully from each channel, providing an essential resource for these laundresses' work. This portrayal highlights not only their dedication but also emphasizes hygiene as an important aspect of beauty treatments during that period. The composition brilliantly captures individual aspects within a larger group setting. Each woman can be seen engrossed in her task - their expressions reflecting both physiological and psychological aspects associated with work and vocation. As we observe closely, we notice how clothing plays a significant role here; it symbolizes not just practicality but also personal identity within society at that time. These garments become objects imbued with stories waiting to be discovered. Although the author remains unidentified, this Alinari print allows us to appreciate their skillful eye for detail and ability to encapsulate moments frozen in time. Let this remarkable photograph transport you back over centuries as you immerse yourself into the daily lives of these hardworking laundresses amidst the historical backdrop of L'Aquila's Fontana delle 99 Cannelle.
