EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-F-002052-0000" we are transported back in time to the year 1885, where rows of maccheroni dryers stand proudly in front of a factory in Torre Annunziata, Italy. The scene is bustling with activity as the employees of the pasta factory come to life before our eyes. Some strike poses near the towering dryers, while others linger on the threshold of the factory entrances. The image captures not only the intricate structure and preparation involved in pasta making but also offers a glimpse into the lives and work of these dedicated individuals. Their presence adds an authentic touch to this snapshot from history. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that pasta-making was more than just a job for these workers; it was their vocation. Each person's role contributed to crafting delicious strands of maccheroni that would eventually find their way onto dinner tables across Campania and beyond. Amidst all this human activity, one cannot help but notice a loyal companion - a dog standing faithfully by its owner's side. This inclusion reminds us that even amidst hard work and long hours, there is always room for companionship and connection. Giorgio Sommer's lens has expertly captured both the physicality of pasta production - from drying racks to packaging stations - as well as intangible elements such as camaraderie and dedication. Through his artistry, he invites us to appreciate not only Italian cuisine but also those who pour their hearts into creating culinary delights enjoyed by people worldwide. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Italian food culture, showcasing how generations have perfected their craft over time. It stands as an enduring tribute to both tradition and innovation within European gastronomy.
