EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical etching by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, titled "Vero adobo per ogni casa" we are transported back to the vibrant festival of the addobbi in Bologna, 1696. The scene is filled with a large group of people joyously celebrating as they carry baskets adorned with intricate crafts and decorations. The humor in this illustration lies in the exaggerated size and complexity of these festive creations. Each basket seems to tower over its carrier, creating a comical contrast between the small figures and their grandiose burdens. It's as if Mitelli is playfully suggesting that no home should be without an extravagant adornment during this lively celebration. Mitelli's attention to detail is evident in his meticulous rendering of each individual figure, capturing their animated expressions and dynamic postures. Their enthusiasm for the festival radiates from the print, inviting viewers to join in on the merriment. This historical artwork provides us with a fascinating glimpse into 17th-century Bologna's cultural traditions and artistic sensibilities. Through Mitelli's skillful use of etching techniques, he brings life to an otherwise static medium, infusing it with movement and energy. Whether displayed as a reminder of past festivities or simply appreciated for its artistic merit, "Vero adobo per ogni casa" serves as both a testament to history and an enduring source of amusement.
