EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of a man's entire figure dressed in traditional Calabrese costume" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. Taken between 1915 and 1920 in Florence, Italy, this image captures the essence of tradition and cultural heritage. The subject of the portrait is a proud man adorned from head to toe in an exquisite Calabrese costume. Every detail has been carefully preserved by Alinari, Fratelli - one of Italy's most renowned photography studios. The man stands confidently against a backdrop that hints at his surroundings without distracting from his majestic presence. His attire showcases the rich fashion and clothing traditions of Calabria, a region known for its vibrant culture. A striking hat or headdress sits atop his head with elegance, reflecting either civilian, military or religious influences. His jacket exudes sophistication while highlighting the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating it. Intriguingly, our eyes are drawn to an instrument held firmly in his hands – a balalaika. This musical accessory adds another layer to this already captivating portrait; it tells us about not only his appearance but also about his passion for music and perhaps even his role within society. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari, Fratelli, we can't help but appreciate how it offers us more than just an insight into fashion trends or anthropological studies. It allows us to connect with history on a personal level as we witness the pride and identity expressed through traditional clothing choices. This photograph serves as a testament to both individuality and collective memory – reminding us that behind every piece of clothing lies stories waiting to be told; stories that shape our understanding of Europe's diverse peoples and their shared heritage.
