Taken by renowned photographer Quilici Folco in 1974, this print showcases a remarkable architectural structure that stands as a testament to ancient Roman triumph. The Arch of Augustus, dating back to 25 BC, is an awe-inspiring commemorative monument dedicated to Emperor Augustus. Its imposing presence and intricate design evoke a sense of reverence for the past. The arch's majestic form proudly displays its ornate reliefs and inscriptions, offering glimpses into the rich history it witnessed over centuries.
