EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century transports us to the bustling streets of Naples, Italy. The scene depicts a small Neapolitan trade - a street vendor of cooked maccheroni. A young girl, perhaps no older than ten, stands proudly behind her makeshift stall, surrounded by pots and pans filled with steaming pasta. The artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life in this vibrant city. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of Mount Vesuvius towering over the bay of Naples, adding an element of grandeur to an otherwise ordinary street scene. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when street trades were commonplace. It reminds us that even in humble occupations like selling food on the streets, there is dignity and pride to be found. However, beneath its charming surface lies deeper symbolism. The themes of gluttony and hunger are subtly woven into this artwork - reminders that not everyone had access to such delicious meals during this era. Luisa Ricciarini's lithograph serves as both a historical record and a celebration of Italian culture. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with food and appreciate those who work tirelessly to bring it to our tables. Displayed at Museo Nazionale delle Paste Alimentari in Rome, this print continues to captivate viewers with its rich details and timeless charm.
