EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Part of Via Partenope in Naples and Castello dell'Ovo" takes us back to the enchanting streets of Naples during the early 20th century. The image showcases a harmonious blend of historical architecture, bustling urban life, and the serene beauty of the sea. In the foreground, we see a group of fishermen going about their daily routines. Their weathered faces tell stories of resilience and hard work as they prepare their nets for another day at sea. These men embody the timeless connection between Naples and its maritime heritage. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly Castello dell'Ovo, an imposing castle that stands proudly on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Dating back to Norman times in Europe's Middle Ages, this fortress has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Its architectural elements are beautifully captured by Brogi's lens - from intricate facades to sturdy building sections adorned with decorative details. Via Partenope stretches out before us like a road paved with memories. This ancient avenue winds along riverbanks, lakeshores, and finally merges seamlessly into the vastness of the sea itself. It serves as both a transportation route for goods and people and an emblematic symbol connecting past eras with present-day life. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1920, we are transported not only through time but also across cultures. The scene evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us that some things remain constant amidst change – such as fishing being more than just a vocation; it is ingrained in these communities' very essence. Brogi's artistic eye captures not only physical structures but also emotions tied to landscapes – be it cliffs meeting crashing waves or fishermen finding solace in their age-old craft against breathtaking seascapes. This Alinari print invites us to immerse ourselves in Napoli's rich tapestry where history meets everyday existence - forever frozen in time.
