Sad-eyed girl: Museo Demologico of San Giovanni in Fiore, Calabria, Italy
Sad-eyed Calabrian girl, 1930s? This is from the very interesting Il Museo Demologico of San Giovanni in Fiore in Calabria, Italy; a social history museum with a brilliant photographic exhibition. The pictures show a sometimes harsh life and some of them were of dead children displayed in coffins, either in the street or posed with their parents inside their houses. Others show kids practising Facist salutes in the playground. There was evidence of many strange haircuts and costumes. My husband's distant relatives were in some of the pictures. I wish I'd taken more photos.
