EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Italian infrastructure development: the Ceremony of the Commencement of the Great Puglia Railway in 1856. The scene unfolds on a sunny day in Naples, with the Neapolitan Minister of Public Works, Signor Commendatore Minena, presiding over the event as the representative of the King. The foundation stone for the railway, intended to traverse the entire width of the Apulia peninsula from Naples to Bari and then down to Brindisi, is prominently displayed on a velvet-covered table. The table also holds a metal case to contain the stone and a box with coins of the reigning monarch. The sunny plains of Apulia, celebrated for their fertility, were about to become even more productive with this new communication channel linking them to the Mediterranean and Adriatic ports. This photograph is a testament to the vision and determination of the Italian authorities to connect their regions and enhance their economic potential through infrastructure development.
