EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic Lungomare, or sea-walk, in Benghazi, Libya during the 1950s. The Lungomare is a beautiful waterfront promenade that was built by the Italians, showcasing their distinctive architectural influence on the North African city. The image reveals a bustling scene of local life, with people strolling along the promenade, children playing near the water's edge, and fishermen preparing their nets. The Mediterranean Sea shimmers in the background, reflecting the vibrant colors of the Italian-Libyan buildings lining the coast. The Lungomare served as a popular gathering place for residents and visitors alike, offering a scenic escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The Italian quarter, or Italo-Libyan district, is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that once thrived in Benghazi. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the charm and allure of this historic North African town on the Mediterranean coast.
