Carabinieri en Roma
1873-1931
Imagine strolling through Rome and bumping into two of Italy's finest—Etienne Bosch did just that, capturing these Carabinieri in a moment of casual patrol. Their iconic bicorne hats with fluffy plumes make them look a bit like top-heavy penguins, stern-faced but somehow approachable. Bosch, working with an Impressionist's eye, didn't bother with stiff military precision; instead, he used scratchy, energetic lines to convey the hustle of the street and the texture of their uniforms. It’s a rare, unguarded glimpse of law enforcement on a quiet day, preserved as a limited edition print (number 7 of 100, to be exact!).
