In the forefront stands a magnificent caleso, also known as a curricolo, which was a popular mode of transportation during that time period. The Neopolitan horse carriage exudes elegance with its ornate design and meticulous craftsmanship. The image transports us back to the middle of the 19th century when this charming vehicle played an essential role in daily life. A dapper driver skillfully guides his horses through the crowded streets while carrying a passenger in style. The caleso epitomizes both luxury and practicality, providing comfort for those who could afford it. The detailed engraving captures not only the physical beauty of this traditional means of transport but also offers insight into historical context. It serves as a testament to how people traveled in Naples during that era, showcasing their reliance on horses for mobility.
