EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century Florence. The scene captures a moment from the comedy in Florentine dialect, "L'acqua cheta" written by Augusto Novelli. It is an exquisite portrayal of life during that time. The setting is a beautifully adorned civic space, complete with elegant furnishings and a long table set for lunch. The actors are dressed impeccably in period costumes, showcasing the fashion and clothing trends of the era. One actor stands out wearing a stylish straw hat, adding charm to his headdress. Surrounded by lush greenery and blooming flowers in a garden or park-like environment, this photo highlights both the natural beauty of Florence's landscape and its thriving performing arts scene. A grand staircase or ladder can be seen in the background, hinting at another dimension to this theatrical production. As we delve deeper into this image, we notice various objects scattered across the table: plates filled with food representing different eating habits prevalent at that time. This detail adds authenticity to the scene while also providing insight into historical dining customs. Captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1908, this print preserves not only an extraordinary moment from "L'acqua cheta" but also offers us glimpses into daily life during that period. It serves as a visual testament to Florence's rich cultural heritage and its enduring love affair with theater.
