EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Rome during the early 20th century. On the doorstep of a shop, a woman diligently mends a sheet while her two young daughters sit on benches in front of her. The scene is filled with elements that depict everyday life in this era. A small table stands beside the woman, adorned with various tools and materials for her sewing task. The wooden chair she sits on showcases exquisite craftsmanship, representing the applied arts and crafts prevalent during that period. As our gaze wanders further into the frame, we notice a sign hanging above the door of the shop – an instrument symbolizing commerce and trade that was integral to sustaining livelihoods at that time. The building itself exudes architectural beauty with its intricate decoration and sections. Meanwhile, amidst their mother's work, the two girls find solace on simple benches as they engage in games and pastimes typical for children of their age. Their traditional clothing reflects fashion trends from that era - each detail meticulously crafted from head to toe. From their shoes adorned with bows to their stools carefully chosen for comfort. But it is through observing this strong-willed woman mending her sheet with utmost dedication that we truly grasp the essence of resilience embedded within every stitch she takes. Her determination serves as a reminder of how even amidst daily struggles, individuals find ways to provide for their families while upholding traditions passed down through generations. This remarkable snapshot frozen in time allows us to appreciate not only Brogi's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of those who came before us and paved our way forward.
