In this engraving from 1861, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Palermo, Sicily. The image showcases a momentous occasion - the opening of the fishery and the triumphant capture of the first tuna. A group of proud Palermo fishermen can be seen carrying their prized catch through the bustling streets, surrounded by an excited crowd. The scene is filled with energy and anticipation as onlookers cheer and celebrate this significant event in their community. The engraving beautifully captures not only the physical strength required to carry such a large fish but also the joy and pride felt by these fishermen. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, allowing us to appreciate both the intricate engravings themselves and the historical significance they represent. Through this artwork, we gain insight into a traditional Sicilian custom that has been passed down for generations. As we observe this black-and-white depiction, we can almost hear music playing in celebration of this remarkable achievement. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined fishing is with Sicilian culture and its importance as a means of sustenance for its people. This enchanting engraving by Stefano Bianchetti transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in Palermo's history – one that celebrates both tradition and triumph over nature's bounty.
