EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of street life in 18th century Italy, showcasing a Maccaronaro (macaroni seller) going about his trade with skill and expertise. The artist, Saverio Della Gatta, known for his classicism style, perfectly depicts the bustling atmosphere of the busy streets where this profession thrived.
The attention to detail in this tempera on cardboard piece is truly remarkable - from the intricate patterns on the seller's clothing to the various types of pasta on display. It is evident that Della Gatta had a deep appreciation for not only the artistry involved in creating macaroni but also for capturing everyday life in Italy during this time period.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when street vendors like the Maccaronaro played an essential role in providing sustenance to their communities. Their dedication to their craft and commitment to quality are reflected in every strand of spaghetti and every twist of macaroni depicted in this fine art piece.
This print serves as a reminder of the rich culinary history of Italy and pays homage to those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of pasta making. It is a testament to how food can bring people together across generations and cultures.
