Italian Families: A Palermo Family (1935)
Figure 1.--This family portrait was taken in Palermo, Sicily during 1935. We do not know the family's name, but they look like a prosperous middle-class family. The older broyher wears a jacket. The younger boy a long-sleeved shirt,It is rather unusual to see the elder brother wore short pants, while his younger brother long trousers. Once might expect mother to chose the children's clothing for a formal family portrait like this. Apparently she allowed the boys to choose what they wanted to wear for the portrait. The girls all wear different dresses. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the family.
