This photo print, titled "Portrait of group of workers posing in a yard, Genoa" transports us back to the early 20th century. Taken around 1910, this image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a diverse group of hardworking individuals standing proudly in a bustling workyard. The setting is Genoa, an Italian city known for its rich maritime history and industrial prowess. The workers' attire reflects the period's fashion and clothing trends - their rugged costumes speak volumes about their vocation and dedication to their craft. Each person exudes strength and determination as they pose together for the camera. In the background, we catch glimpses of naval vessels and river transportation structures that were vital to Genoa's thriving economy at that time. These elements remind us of the importance of trade and commerce during this era. As we delve deeper into the details of this photograph, our attention is drawn to an intriguing object held by one worker – a flask. This small but significant item symbolizes sustenance amidst long hours on the job; perhaps it contains wine or another liquid that provided solace during breaks from laborious tasks.
