EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Riviera di Chaija, Naples, Italy, circa 1880," captures the timeless beauty and charm of the Italian coastline as seen through the lens of renowned German photographer Giorgio Sommer. The image transports us back in time to a bygone era, as we gaze upon the tranquil waters of the Bay of Naples, dotted with colorful fishing boats and framed by the rugged cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula. The quaint seaside village of Chaija, nestled along the shoreline, is a picturesque scene of simple Italian life. Women in traditional dress can be seen going about their daily tasks, while men repair their nets or prepare their boats for a day at sea. The village's whitewashed houses, with their vibrant shutters and red-tiled roofs, cling precariously to the steep hillside, offering a stark contrast to the azure waters below. The photograph was taken circa 1880, a time when the Riviera di Chaija was still an undiscovered gem, untouched by mass tourism. Giorgio Sommer, a master of capturing the essence of place, expertly conveys the raw beauty and authenticity of this enchanting corner of Italy. The image invites us to imagine the sounds of the gentle waves lapping against the shore, the scent of the Mediterranean sea, and the warmth of the Neapolitan sun on our skin. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the simple pleasures of life along the Italian Riviera.
