This print titled "Travelling salesmen in front of their merchandise, in Vittorio Emanuele II square" takes us back to the bustling streets of Rome during the early 20th century. The date of this photograph is estimated to be around 1900-1910, capturing a moment frozen in time. In the heart of Vittorio Emanuele II square, we see a group of travelling salesmen proudly displaying their wares. Their makeshift tents create an intriguing backdrop against the grand architecture that surrounds them. These mobile structures serve as their temporary shops, allowing them to showcase an array of objects and crafts for sale. The market atmosphere is palpable as both men and women browse through the displayed items. Fashionably dressed females wearing kerchiefs on their heads mingle with civilians adorned in military or religious accessories. The diversity amongst these potential customers adds depth to this snapshot of daily life. Amidst this vibrant scene, one cannot help but notice the abundance of vegetation surrounding the square. Lush branches and vegetal elements frame the composition beautifully, adding a touch of nature's beauty amidst urban chaos. Brogi's masterful photography captures not only a commercial moment but also provides us with glimpses into history - revealing how commerce and trade were conducted at that time. This image serves as a reminder that even then, people relied on ingenuity and adaptability to make ends meet. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how these travelling salesmen navigated through life while leaving an indelible mark on Rome's iconic Vittorio Emanuele II square.
