Bisceglie is a coastal town 20 mi from Bari in southern Italy. Here we have a studio photo portrait of three siblings taken in Bisceglie in the 1920s. We assume that they belong to a middle class family. The children look to be about 1-5 years old. The older boy wears a white sailor suit. The girl has a doll. Note that she is wearing earrings. Until recent times in southern Italy it was common for even very young girls to have ear rings--even infants. The baby is unclothed. That was quite common. The idea was to show how healthy he was. There is also the family pet, a pert little pooch.
