This photograph was taken in a village near Naples during the late-1950s. It show three siblings: Filippo, Beatrice and Pasquale Pisacane. Yhe children look to be aboy 6 moths to 5 years of age. The photo was taken in winter as the boys are wearing matching heavy, dark sailor suits. The traditional sailor suits worn by the boys look elegant, but a little old fashion at the time. While the boys are very smartly dressed, we suspect that the family was of modestb means, in part because they seem to have had theor portrait taken at a low-budget photographer. We no longer see sailor suits after the 1950s, except for special events like weddings. Mom is holding up the baby, but for some reason did not want to appear in the portrait. We note a portrait a few years later of the same children, probab;y the early-1960s. This time the Pisacane children appears with mother and a new addition to the family. This time the photograph was taken in the summer and the boys wear casual clothing.
