EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we see the legendary Italian filmmaker and photographer, Folco Quilici (1930-2018), immersed in the depths of the Red Sea. It is 1952, and Quilici is partaking in the prestigious Italian National Underwater Expedition Africa Red Sea. With his trusty Contaflex camera in hand, he fearlessly captures the mesmerizing beauty of a coral seabed. As sunlight filters through the crystal-clear waters, illuminating every intricate detail of this underwater wonderland, Quilici's passion for exploration shines through his focused gaze. The vibrant colors of fish darting between corals create a striking contrast against the serene blue backdrop. These vertebrates gracefully navigate their habitat as if performing an elegant ballet for Quilici's lens. The Contaflex camera serves as both tool and extension of Quilici's artistic vision. Its precision allows him to freeze moments that would otherwise be lost to time – preserving them forever on film. Through his photographs, he invites us into a world seldom seen by human eyes; a realm where nature reigns supreme. Quilici's dedication to his craft is evident as he meticulously composes each shot amidst this ethereal seascape. His work not only showcases his technical prowess but also highlights his deep connection with nature and desire to share its wonders with others. This image encapsulates more than just a moment frozen in time; it represents an entire lifetime dedicated to capturing Earth's hidden treasures beneath its vast oceans. Ravelli Giorgio has masterfully captured Folco Quilici at work - immortalizing both man and landscape in one breathtaking frame that will continue to inspire generations yet unborn
