Two peasants wearing a Sicilian costume 1889

Giuseppe Bruno's 1889 photograph, "Two Peasants Wearing a Sicilian Costume," captures the essence of Sicilian rural life. The image portrays an older woman, her face etched with the wisdom of years, and a younger man, both adorned in traditional Sicilian garb. The woman's head is covered by a veil, while the man wears a distinctive cap. The couple's worn clothing and the rustic setting further emphasize their peasant status. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Sicilian villagers, showcasing their attire and the simplicity of their surroundings. Bruno's work, known for its focus on everyday people and scenes, provides a valuable window into Sicilian life of the late 19th century.
