EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Castle of St. Angelo in all its glory, standing proudly against the backdrop of Rome's ancient civilization. Taken in 1975 by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco, this artwork transports us back to the Hadrianic and Imperial periods when this castle served as a mausoleum. The Castle of St. Angelo is not merely an architectural marvel; it embodies an allegory, an abstract concept and symbol that represents strength and resilience. Its imposing structure stands tall as a testament to Roman artistry and civil engineering prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to the bridge connecting the castle with the urban landscape beyond. It serves as both a physical link and a metaphorical connection between life and death, past and present. The funerary monument at its core reminds us of its Christian significance while also paying homage to those who have come before us. The road avenue leading up to the castle invites contemplation on our own mortality while offering solace in knowing that we are part of something greater than ourselves. From this aerial view or birds-eye perspective, we gain a unique vantage point that allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of this historical site but also its integration within Rome's urban fabric. Quilici's masterful composition captures every intricate detail with precision – from the flowing river nearby to each carefully crafted architectural element. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates centuries' worth of history within one frame. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let it serve as a reminder of our shared human heritage and inspire awe for those who came before us – their legacy forever etched into these ancient stones.
