EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Italian storytelling in the 18th century. The image showcases the frontispiece of the 1742 Bolognese edition of "The Pentamerone" by Giambattista Basile, a renowned writer from Naples. In this vertical composition, we see a group of women gathered around a sewing party, completely engrossed in listening to tales being read aloud by the Chiaqlira. The Chiaqlira, dressed elegantly in traditional attire, captivates her audience with her animated gestures and expressive storytelling. Her words transport these women into a world filled with enchanting folk stories that have been passed down through generations. It is evident from their rapt expressions that they are deeply engaged in this shared experience. This print not only highlights the beauty and intricacy of Italian craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to the power of oral tradition and communal bonding through storytelling. The neapolitan dialect used by Basile adds an authentic touch to his tales, making them resonate even more strongly with his fellow Italians. Ken Welsh's expert photography skillfully brings this historical scene to life, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this moment frozen in time. Whether you are an admirer of Italian culture or simply appreciate artistry captured on film, this print is sure to evoke emotions and spark curiosity about centuries-old traditions preserved within its frames.
