EDITORS COMMENTS
Street Life, Naples, Italy, circa 1880 by Giorgio Sommer This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and chaotic street life of Naples, Italy, in the late 1800s. Taken by the renowned German photographer Giorgio Sommer around 1880, the image offers a glimpse into the daily routines and rich cultural tapestry of this historic city. The photograph showcases a bustling street scene filled with people of all ages and walks of life. Men in traditional Neapolitan attire, including the iconic red and white checked shirts, hats, and trousers, engage in animated conversations or go about their business. Women, dressed in elegant Victorian-era gowns, carefully navigate the crowded streets, while children play and sell flowers or other wares. The photograph also reveals the diverse architectural landscape of Naples, with its narrow, winding streets, colorful buildings, and ornate balconies. In the background, the majestic outline of Mount Vesuvius looms, a constant reminder of the city's volcanic past and the natural forces that have shaped its history. The image is a testament to the energy, resilience, and beauty of Naples and its people. Giorgio Sommer's masterful composition and use of light and shadow create a captivating and timeless portrait of a city that continues to enchant and inspire visitors from around the world.
