EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken around 1900 in San Remo, Italy, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of hard work and resilience. The image showcases two women proudly carrying an abundance of wheat on their heads, symbolizing the timeless connection between humans and the land they cultivate. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the fashion trends of that era, these strong-willed farmers embody the essence of rural life. Their faces tell stories of determination as they navigate through the challenges faced by peasants during those times. With their heads held high and backs straightened under the weight of their harvest, these women exemplify both physical strength and unwavering dedication to their vocation. The sacks slung over their shoulders serve as a reminder of the laborious tasks involved in farming - from sowing seeds to reaping crops - all essential for sustaining communities. This portrait not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to generations past who relied on agriculture for survival. As we delve into this snapshot from Liguria's history, it is impossible not to appreciate its anthropological significance. It offers us glimpses into European origins and traditions while shedding light on local customs specific to San Remo. Through ethnography and folklore studies, photographs like these become invaluable resources for understanding our collective heritage. Brogi's skillful composition allows us to connect with these resilient women whose lives were intricately intertwined with nature's bounties. As we admire this print today, let us honor their contributions by recognizing how far we have come while cherishing our roots firmly planted in farming culture worldwide.
