Domenico Fiori Family, ca. 1900

In this black-and-white photograph, a group of seven individuals, comprising men and children, stand outdoors on what appears to be a farm, with dried leaves underfoot and a barn in the background. One of the women is holding a baby, while the others are dressed in formal suits, giving a sense of the era's fashion. A significant feature is the towering wooden structure behind them, likely a windmill or a bell tower.
