A family story.
Story of the Vulpinari family.
It was in the 30’s and, as this photo shows, the whole family is at work.
The founder of the family can be recognized, Mr. Giuseppe Vulpinari, called Fin, while he is working on a jacket, supported by the sisters Anna, at the treadle sewing-machine and Pina, working on the finishes.
Gosti is standing up, being in charge for the ironing.
The working environment is surrounded my sketches and patterns of haute couture suits and at the centre the photo of a dead relative, who could not to be forgotten and who was in the heart of all of them.
The whole village and the surrounding areas used to go to this tailor’s and the tradition required that everything had to be renewed for the two ceremonies of the year: Christmas and Easter.
The ceremony used to start already months before (the dress had to be absolutely ready to be put on).
Therefore all the family (parents and children) used to go to the tailor’s, and there you entered into another world.
The tailor was a highly regarded person, as the doctor and the pharmacist.
