EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a small metier of the city of Naples in the 19th century: the puppeteer. The image is an engraving based on a painting by F. Palizza, featured in Francesco de Bourcard's renowned work "Costumi del regno di Napoli" from 1858. In this scene, we see a skilled craftsman dressed in traditional attire, fully immersed in his artistry. With strings attached to marionettes, he brings them to life with finesse and precision. His expertise as a puppeteer is evident as he manipulates these wooden figures with great dexterity. The presence of this street trade highlights the vibrant commerce and diverse population that thrived within Naples during this era. The puppeteer's performance not only entertained passersby but also provided him with a means of livelihood. This engraving serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage that permeated Italian society at the time. It showcases how street art played an integral role in capturing people's attention and adding color to their daily lives. Giancarlo Costa has expertly preserved this piece of history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the talent of the artist who painted it and the cultural significance it holds for Naples. This print transports us back in time, offering glimpses into an enchanting world where craftsmanship and creativity intersected on bustling streets filled with wonderment and awe-inspiring talents like that of our puppeteer friend.
