EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an awe-inspiring aerial view of Civita Castellana, a fortified city that exudes historical grandeur. The focal point of the image is the magnificent fortress, which stands proudly as a testament to architectural brilliance and military prowess. The fortress itself is a masterpiece crafted during the High Renaissance period, with influences from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its construction dates back to the first half of the 16th century, under the skilled hands of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and his father, Antonio da Sangallo the Elder. This architectural marvel perfectly captures their genius in blending form and function. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in 1975, our eyes are drawn to every intricate detail of this formidable structure. From its towering walls to its strategically placed watchtowers, it becomes evident that this fort was built with defense in mind. The vantage point offered by this aerial perspective allows us to appreciate not only its military significance but also grants us a breathtaking view of Civita Castellana itself. Looking beyond just the fortress, we observe how time has shaped this European gem over centuries. With origins dating back thousands of years into antiquity, Civita Castellana has witnessed countless events throughout history's tapestry. In capturing this moment frozen in time by photographer Quilici Folco for Alinari's collection, we are transported through space and time – immersing ourselves in Europe's rich heritage while appreciating humanity's ability to create enduring works that stand tall against all odds.
