EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a lively scene in an osteria (inn) in Bologna during the early 19th century. The image showcases a group of men engrossed in playing the traditional Italian game of "die" or "morra". Unknown to us, these players are caught up in the excitement and camaraderie that this popular pastime brings. The setting exudes authenticity, with its rustic charm and bustling atmosphere. The inn's walls are adorned with vintage artwork, adding to the ambiance of tradition and culture. As we observe closely, we can almost hear the animated conversations and laughter filling the air. The artist skillfully portrays each player's intense focus as they eagerly anticipate their opponents' moves. Their hands gesture energetically while their eyes remain locked on one another, revealing both competition and friendship intertwined within this ancient game. This photograph is not only a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a reminder of how games have always been an integral part of human interaction throughout history. It transports us back to simpler times when people gathered at local establishments like this osteria to engage in friendly competition and forge lasting connections. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday life - where customs, traditions, and shared experiences unite individuals from all walks of life under one roof.
