EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, we are transported back in time to Italy during the late 19th century. The image captures a man wearing a mask, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Standing proudly before us, he holds up two portraits for our admiration. The first portrait depicts King Umberto I of Savoy (1844-1900), the ruler of Italy during this period. With his regal gaze and distinguished features, it is clear why he was held in high regard by his subjects. His reign marked a significant era in Italian history, as the country underwent rapid modernization and political transformation. Next to him is a portrait of Queen Margherita (1851-1926), Umberto's wife. She exudes grace and elegance with her refined posture and delicate features. Known for her philanthropic efforts and love for the arts, she played an important role in shaping Italian society at that time. This photograph offers us a glimpse into not only their physical appearance but also their influence on Italian culture and politics during their reign. It serves as a testament to their importance within contemporary nations' histories. The man holding these portraits remains unidentified, leaving us wondering about his connection to these famous figures or what purpose this display served. Perhaps it was taken at a masquerade ball or another festive occasion where people celebrated historical figures through costumes. Regardless of its origins or intentions, this print from Alinari allows us to immerse ourselves in Italian history while marveling at the captivating presence of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita – two individuals who left an indelible mark on their nation's past.
