EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Aeolian Islands: Lipari, the acropolis" takes us on a mesmerizing journey back to 1970. The renowned Italian photographer, Folco Quilici, skillfully captures the essence of this ancient island's architectural marvels and breathtaking landscapes. Lipari, one of the enchanting Aeolian Islands nestled in the Tyrrhenian Sea off Sicily's coast, is showcased here with its magnificent acropolis dominating the frame. This imposing structure stands as a testament to both military might and defensive prowess throughout history. Its robust fortifications tell tales of battles fought and won against invaders who sought to claim this strategic vantage point. As we delve deeper into the image's details, our eyes are drawn towards an intricate network of houses that dot the landscape below. These humble abodes stand resilient against time amidst their historical surroundings. Their unique architecture speaks volumes about Lipari's rich cultural heritage and its people's unwavering connection with their land. The aerial perspective offered by this photograph provides us with an extraordinary birds-eye view of Lipari city itself. From up above, we witness how it seamlessly merges with its natural surroundings – a harmonious blend of sea and land forming an idyllic seascape that stretches as far as our eyes can see. Quilici masterfully captures not only Lipari's physical beauty but also its intangible allure – an island steeped in history yet brimming with life and vitality. This evocative image invites us to imagine ourselves wandering through narrow streets lined with colorful buildings or basking in golden sunlight on pristine beaches nearby. In conclusion, Quilici’s remarkable photograph transports us back in time while simultaneously inviting us to explore every nook and cranny of Lipari’s fascinating past and present. It serves as a timeless reminder that some places hold within them stories waiting patiently for curious souls like ours to unravel them.
