Napoli ‘fin de siècle’

This book is dedicated to the Neapolitan photographers Pasquale and Achille Esposito, whose activity covers a period of time ranging from the 1880s to the first decade of the twentieth century. Their production, around 1,200 copies, mainly consists of prints of two formats: large (about 19.5x25 cm) with the title incorporated in the negative, and small (about 12.5x17.5 cm) without title and mostly with a number of negative inside the image. In addition to popular costumes and genre scenes, the Espositos created architectural, urban and landscape views and a good number of reproductions of art masterpieces.

The text is in Italian.
