EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Howells Vincenzo, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century Italian countryside. The image portrays a young peasant-woman kneeling down beside a small pig, creating an enchanting scene that encapsulates the essence of farming and country life. The woman's weathered hands gently cradle the tiny piglet, showcasing her tenderness towards these terrestrial mammals. Her worn attire suggests she is no stranger to hard work on the farm, as she proudly embodies the resilience and strength of those who toil on the land. The composition beautifully captures their intimate relationship; it is evident that there exists a deep bond between this farmer and her animal companion. As they share this moment together, one can almost feel their connection through their eyes – filled with trust, affection, and mutual understanding. This portrait not only highlights the beauty of human-animal relationships but also serves as a testament to zoology and zootechnics - fields that study animals' behavior and breeding techniques for agricultural purposes. It reminds us of our interconnectedness with nature and how animals play an integral role in our lives. As we gaze at this timeless photograph from Alinari's collection dating back to 1907-1913 in Caserta, Italy, we are reminded of simpler times when people relied heavily on agriculture for sustenance. It invites us to reflect upon our modern lifestyles while appreciating the dedication and love poured into every aspect of farming. Howells Vincenzo's skillful capture freezes this fleeting moment forever – immortalizing both the young peasant-woman's devotion towards her work as well as her profound bond with this small piglet.
