EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002921-0000" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the rich history of Pompeii. Taken by Brogi from Alinari in the late 19th century, it showcases Modesto's bakery within the archeological area of this ancient Roman city. The image transports us back in time to an era between the first century BC and first century AD when this bustling bakery thrived. In the foreground, we are drawn to the millstones that stand prominently on the right side, serving as a testament to the essential role they played in grinding grains for baking bread. To the left, we see Modesto's shop-workplace where countless loaves of bread were meticulously crafted and sold. The architecture of this commercial space is intriguing; its design reflects both functionality and aesthetic appeal. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine catching a whiff of freshly baked bread wafting through Pompeii's streets. This find provides invaluable insight into not only Pompeii's daily life but also its dietary habits during antiquity. Pompeii itself is renowned for its remarkable preservation due to being buried under volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Excavations have unearthed numerous sites, monuments, and complexes like Modesto's bakery that continue to captivate archaeologists and historians alike. Brogi skillfully captures these archaeological wonders with his lens while preserving their historical significance for generations to come. Through his artistry, he allows us a window into ancient civilizations and reminds us of our shared human heritage. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, remnants from our past can still evoke awe-inspiring emotions within us today.
