EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portraits of criminal women" is a print from an album of photographs gathered by Cesare Lombroso, an influential Italian criminologist. The image was captured in the 19th century by an unknown photographer and now resides in a private collection. The photo showcases the face of a young woman, her expression both haunting and intriguing. Through this portrait, Lombroso aimed to explore the connection between physical appearance and criminal behavior. His pioneering work in anthropometry sought to identify specific facial features or characteristics that could indicate predisposition towards criminality. In this thought-provoking image, we are invited into the world of criminology and photography as tools for understanding human nature. The woman's face becomes a canvas upon which knowledge is etched - every line, every contour revealing insights into her past actions. Giancarlo Costa expertly captures the essence of this historical artifact through his lens, preserving its significance for future generations. As we gaze at this portrait, we are reminded of our collective fascination with crime and deviance throughout history. This photograph serves as a testament to Lombroso's groundbreaking research while also highlighting the power of visual representation in uncovering hidden truths about society. It stands as a reminder that behind every face lies a story waiting to be told - one that may challenge our preconceived notions about criminals and their motivations.
