DescriptionMan dressed in a uniform, a sword at his side. He has a handlebar mustache and a trim beard. The coat is double breasted with leaf-like design on the stand up collar, large V's on the upper arm of the sleeve (indicating an officer?), and a chain hanging between the top button extending to the fourth button on one side of the jacket. There is a studio backdrop behind him. The image was collected by Gennaro Capobianco as part of his efforts to document Italian Americans in Connecticut. His cousin identified the man as Mr. D'Esopo. The image was taken in Naples, Italy.
