EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Brogi, we are transported back in time to Rome during the early 20th century. The image showcases a group of women, accompanied by a child, deeply engrossed in their craft of weaving baskets. Their focused expressions reveal the dedication and skill required for this traditional art form. The setting is an open square, where these talented women have gathered to showcase their craftsmanship. On the left side of the frame, a man can be seen seated behind a curtain that hangs from a beach umbrella. This intriguing detail adds an air of mystery to the scene - perhaps he is observing or supervising their work. The architecture surrounding them reflects the urban landscape of Rome during that period. A door adorned with decorative elements stands as a backdrop for this bustling square filled with activity and creativity. Nearby structures suggest that this location may also serve as a commercial hub or marketplace. Both men and women are present in this snapshot of daily life, each wearing distinct clothing styles indicative of their gender roles at that time. The men don hats or headdresses which hint at civilian or military affiliations while some religious accessories can also be observed. A tent-like structure provides shelter for one individual who sits on a stool nearby - another curious element within this composition. Brogi's masterful capture freezes these moments in time forever, allowing us to appreciate not only the intricate process of basket weaving but also providing glimpses into social dynamics and architectural details specific to Rome nearly a century ago.
