EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A shepherd in Appia Antica street" transports us back to the enchanting streets of Rome in the early 1920s. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a shepherd going about his daily work amidst the historical backdrop of Appia Antica street. The shepherd stands tall and proud, exuding an air of quiet confidence as he tends to his flock of sheep. Dressed in traditional attire, he wears a jacket that speaks volumes about his vocation and way of life. His hat, perched atop his head with precision, adds a touch of character to his overall appearance. As our gaze shifts from the shepherd himself to the surroundings, we are greeted by a picturesque landscape dotted with towering pine trees and lush vegetation. A road winds its way through this idyllic scene, leading our imagination towards distant horizons. The inclusion of these natural elements serves as a reminder that despite being situated within an urban setting like Appia Antica street, nature still finds its place alongside humanity's creations. Brogi's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this particular moment but also offers insights into zoology and zootechnics. The presence of sheep reminds us that humans have long relied on animals for their livelihoods – be it for food or clothing. This stunning print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates history itself. It invites us to reflect upon how people lived during this era while simultaneously appreciating the timeless beauty found within everyday scenes such as this one captured by Brogi's lens.
