EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-152309-0000" takes us back to the year 1899, capturing a post mortem portrait of the notorious bandit Elia Serra-Sanna. The image is a haunting reminder of an era filled with violence and unrest. Elia Serra-Sanna's piercing gaze draws you in, as if he is still alive, despite his lifeless body lying before us. Clad in military attire, complete with rifle, arms, and armor, this portrait showcases the harsh reality of armed forces and military life during that time. The photograph delves into both the physiological and psychological aspects of death at such a young age. It serves as a poignant reminder that even soldiers are not immune to mortality's grip. Magnanelli L. , the talented photographer behind this masterpiece, expertly captures every intricate detail - from Serra-Sanna's uniform down to his facial expression. This posthumous portrait offers insight into the individuality of this brigand; it tells a story beyond just his criminal activities. Society and politics play their part in shaping history through figures like Elia Serra-Sanna. Brigandism was more than just a social phenomenon; it was an undeniable negative event that left its mark on Italy's contemporary nations. As we examine this historical artifact today, we are reminded of how far our populations have come since those tumultuous times. The territories may have changed hands over the years but understanding our history helps shape who we are today. Let us reflect upon this powerful image without commercial intentions or mention thereof – for it is through art like Magnanelli L. 's work that we can truly appreciate our past while looking towards a brighter future.
