EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the essence of the main square of Capri. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with life and activity. In the foreground, we see a charming cobblestone street leading up to an architectural marvel - a grand building that houses various establishments. Its intricate design elements and decorative sections speak volumes about the rich history and craftsmanship of this Italian island. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the majestic bell tower that proudly stands tall against the clear blue sky. It serves as a reminder of Capri's administrative importance, while also adding character to its urban landscape. As our gaze wanders further into this snapshot from yesteryears, we notice people going about their daily routines. A cobbler diligently works on repairing shoes, showcasing his vocation with pride. Nearby, a fashionable woman dressed in her finest attire strolls along the square, exuding elegance and grace. A male figure catches our attention as he glances at his pocket watch intently - perhaps indicating that time is precious even amidst such picturesque surroundings. This instrument becomes symbolic not only for measuring time but also for capturing fleeting moments frozen forever within this photograph. The overall ambiance suggests commerce and trade thriving within these walls; it's easy to imagine locals engaging in lively conversations or exchanging goods at nearby shops or stalls lining the square. With its timeless charm preserved through Brogi's lens, this print allows us to immerse ourselves in Capri's past glory - offering glimpses into both architectural beauty and everyday life during an era long gone by.
