Adriano Bonifazi (1858-1914)

Born in Rome, Bonifazi was active mostly in Rome and Naples, and chose his subjects from Capri, Naples, Subiaco and Sicily. He is mostly known for his Romantic portraits of children, townspeople, and peasants in rustic settings, meticulously reconstructing their colourful and striking costumes and dress which characterised their social and geographical origins.
