ALESSANDRO – THE ROMAN SOLDIER

This is my brother’s grandson, Alessandro, outfitted as a Roman soldier.
Last Monday, my brother asked me if I would like to go with him to visit members of the Salesian Brigade who were on a three-day camp at Rinella Fort. As that would be an adventure for Max (my grandson) I decided to go. Here is a picture of Alessandro dressed as a Roman Soldier. This was an activity the children present were participating in.
Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's picture.

Fantastic capture - love the B&W too :)
Sounds like a fascinating activity.

[Irene Marshall]

Its a history lesson first hand, great in B&W. Fav

[sally agnew]

Excellent B&W image Dione :)

[Sheralee S]

Lovely capture of him. I have a niece that married into the Rinella family from Italy... maybe there is a connection.

[Diane]

Great portrait, with nice light and shadows. Love the expression on his face!

[Jane Anderson]

What an interesting event! Here people re-enact the official look of people and soldiers in the USA's comparatively short history. It's fun to learn of the contrast.

[Cathie]

Nice photo, Dione, and wonderful way to learn about history!

Very good choice for b&W, the light is lovely and the clarity of details in that beautifully made helmet just great.

[Paula W]

How wonderful to have the opportunity to wear these clothes. Nice detail brought out by the b&w.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is so cool- I would love to see his whole armor. When I was teaching the history teacher was making his own Roman soldier costume- authentic like your great nephews. Great portrait!

[Sylvia du Toit]

I like this one!
