THE TOAST

FOOD An elderly couple cheerfully toasts, their anniversary is probably celebrated with a few close friends: a bouquet of flowers and a gift package are placed on the fireplace. In his glass there is red wine, in hers white (or water). At the beginning of lunch the table is still perfectly set, the dishes show a substantial appetizer of local cold cuts; judging from these and the shape of the bread, the area where the scene takes place is probably in northern Italy. The other diners have momentarily left the frame (with the glass in hand) so that the amateur photographer could better capture the moment. Family souvenir photograph without date or other indications. Italy, circa 1950-1960
