EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two streets in the Santa Lucia, Naples" takes us back to the enchanting city of Naples in the late 19th century. The photographer, Achille Mauri, skillfully captures a moment frozen in time on these bustling streets. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate architecture that lines both sides of the narrow alleyway. The buildings stand tall with their unique decorative elements and sections, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of this vibrant Italian city. The windows of these houses tell stories of daily life within their walls. Some are adorned with colorful curtains while others remain open, allowing glimpses into intimate moments shared by its residents. Laundry hangs from clotheslines above, adding a touch of domesticity to this urban scene. The composition reveals an intriguing interplay between light and shadow as sunlight filters through gaps between buildings onto the cobblestone lane below. This contrast creates a sense of depth and mystery that invites us to explore further down this charming calle. Mauri's photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a snapshot of Neapolitan society at that time. It transports us back more than a century ago when horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets and locals went about their daily routines amidst such picturesque surroundings. This print is truly a testament to Mauri's talent for capturing timeless moments in history. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the charm and allure of old-world Naples while reminding us how much cities can change yet still retain their essence over time.
