Summary[edit]

Description
  • Italiano: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), Ritratto di gentiluomo (circa 1890). Numero di catalogo: 2415. Questo ritratto è stato identificato per la prima volta come quello del cugino, il fotografo Wilhelm von Plüschow (1852-1930), nel 1997, nel catalogo antiquario n. 5 di Serge Planteux al numero 193, e da allora accettato come tale. Tuttavia, il Metropolitan Museum di New York ha pubblicato sul suo sito una foto del medesimo soggetto mentre suona il mandolino che sul retro riporta una dedica che lo identifica come "Mico Lo Giudice-Berbiredolu, il mago del mandolino". Mario Bolognari, autore di I ragazzi di von Gloeden. Poetiche omosessuali e rappresentazioni dell'erotismo siciliano tra Ottocento e Novecento (Reggio Calabria, 2102) lo ha identificato in Domenico (detto "Mico") Lo Giudice (1871-1942), soprannominato "Barbareddu" o "Barbireddu" ("Barbiredolu" è visibilmente una cattiva lettura di un "du" manoscritto come: "olu"), soprannome che i suoi attuali discendenti a Taormina hanno ereditato. Si tratta pertanto d'un personaggio reale, e l'identificazione di questa foto come un suo ritratto ha le maggiori probabilità d'essere quella giusta, dato che è improbabile che la foto d'un personaggio celebre sia spacciata per quella d'un personaggio non conosciuto, mentre il contrario è più facile.
  • English: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), Portrait of a gentleman (circa 1890). Catalogue number: 2415. This portrait was first recognised as showing Gloeden's cousin, the photographer Wilhelm von Plüschow (1852-1930) in 1997, in the antiquarian catalogue # 5 by Serge Planteux, item # 193, and since accepted. However, The Metropolitan Museum in New York published online another portrait of the same sitter playing a mandolin, inscribed on the reverse with a dedication calling him "Mico Lo Giudice-Berbiredolu ("Barbiredolu" clearly comes from a misreading of an handwritten "du" as "olu"), the magician of mandolin". Mario Bolognari, who wrote I ragazzi di von Gloeden. Poetiche omosessuali e rappresentazioni dell'erotismo siciliano tra Ottocento e Novecento (Reggio Calabria, 2012) recognized him as Domenico (called "Mico") Lo Giudice (1871-1942), dubbed "Barbareddu" ("The little barbarian") or "Barbireddu", a nickname his grand-grand-children in Taormina still bear today. Since this is a really existing person, this identification should be considered the most likely one, since no-one would mis-give a picture of a famous sitter for the one of an unkwnown one, whereas the reverse is easier.
