EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-152289-0000" takes us back in time to the year 1893. The subject of this intriguing portrait is none other than Raffaele Gusai, a notorious Sardinian bandit who captured the imagination of many during that era. In this striking image, we see Gusai's face and various parts of his body depicted with raw honesty. He stands before us in all his nakedness, showcasing the vulnerability and strength inherent in the human form. His masculine features are accentuated by a well-groomed beard that adds an air of ruggedness to his persona. This portrait goes beyond mere aesthetics; it delves into deeper themes surrounding society and politics. As a brigand, Gusai represents a social phenomenon that was prevalent at the time - one where individuals took up arms against oppressive forces or sought personal gain through illegal means. This photograph captures not only an individual but also sheds light on the history of contemporary nations, populations, territories, and their struggles for autonomy. The identity of the photographer remains unknown as indicated by "Unidentified Author". However, their skillful composition allows us to witness firsthand the charisma exuded by Gusai despite his controversial reputation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Alinari's collection, we are transported back to a different era - one filled with intrigue and danger. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly lawless times there exist complex characters whose stories shape our understanding of history itself.
