Sicilian cart 2 sent on February 06, 2018 (0:14) by Sergio Bartolomeo. 6 comments, 526 views. [retina]

at 24mm, 1/125 f/2.8, ISO 2500, hand held.

Il carretto è composto dal fonnu di càscia, cioè il pianale di carico prolungato anteriormente e posteriormente da due tavulàzzi, sul quale sono montati parallelamente due masciddàri (dal siciliano mascidda, "mascella") ovvero le sponde fisse del carretto, e un puttèddu (portello posteriore) removibile per agevolare le operazioni di carico e scarico. Ogni masciddaru è suddiviso equamente in due scacchi (i riquadri in cui vengono dipinte le scene), nel putteddu invece vi è uno scacco centrale fra due scacchi più piccoli.I scacchi sono divisi da un segmento verticale che congiunge i pannelli al fonnu di cascia: 6 in legno chiamati barrùni equamente divisi fra masciddari e putteddu, due in metallo denominati centuni presenti solo sui masciddari. Questa sezione "contenitiva" sormonta il gruppo portante del carretto chiamato traìno, il quale comprende le aste e la cascia di fusu, a sua volta costituita da una sezione di legno intagliato sormontata da un arabesco di metallo. Nei carretti alla patrunàli meno pregiati, la preziosa cascia di fusu viene sostituita dalle balestre. Fra le aste sotto i tavulazzi vengono montate due parti in legno chiamate chiavi, una anteriore ed una posteriore. La prima altro non è che una semplice barra ricurva, la seconda invece consiste in un bassorilievo intagliato rappresentante una scena, solitamente cavalleresca, che può assumere diversi gradi di pregevolezza.

The detail of the cart is very beautiful. The caption is also interesting and exhaustive. The natural light that enters the window unfortunately created a glow on the floor that is usually difficult to remove in post. Perhaps there was not much space. Moving back a few steps you could perhaps leave a few cm on the sides to be recovered post post-straightening falling lines evident on the door window. ;-)

You're right Marco, I had little space: wedged between a cart and another and the pdr,
a little from the bottom, he accentuated the falling lines. Also I had to overexpose in order not to lose the details of the cart, in light backlight
Thank you for your detailed analysis with this shot.
Hello

I remember the beauty of a cart that I had the opportunity to look at with peace in a small museum in Taormina. Objects, this, that can not assume such levels of preciousness if not to be witnesses and vehicles of an ancient tradition. Beautiful caption. I would never have thought that a cart could have given rise to such a specific terminology to describe its components, further proof of the centrality of this object in the Sicilian tradition.
Thanks and congratulations

Thanks Cage.
Thank you very much for the nice comment to this shot and the caption. I'm glad to have reawakened your curiosity about an object: symbol of Sicilianity for centuries and around which, I discovered, continues to turn a world of enthusiasts: collectors and craftsmen, in fact there are still skilled carvers, decorators who continue to produce these masterpieces.
Greetings and good Sunday
Sergio
