EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-090006-0011" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Siena. The image captures a group portrait standing proudly in front of the magnificent column adorned with the iconic she-wolf sculpture. Dated on March 20th, 1927, this snapshot freezes a moment filled with history and camaraderie. The column itself is an architectural marvel, showcasing intricate building elements and decorative sections that speak volumes about Siena's rich cultural heritage. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the majestic she-wolf statue perched atop the column. This powerful symbol represents not only strength but also pays homage to Rome's legendary founding story involving Romulus and Remus. As our eyes wander across the frame, we notice each individual within the group portrait exuding their unique charm. Their fashionable hats add a touch of elegance while their fur coats protect them from the chilly weather. Monteverde's skilled lens immortalizes these individuals as they stand alongside one another – united by their shared admiration for both artistry and nature. We can't help but wonder what stories lie behind each face captured in this timeless image. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print offers insights into various fields such as zoology and architecture. It reminds us that humans are not separate from nature; rather, we are interconnected beings sharing this terrestrial world with other mammals like wolves. Aurelio Monteverde's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only his artistic prowess but also serves as a window into Siena's past glory. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it sparks curiosity about how much has changed since that spring day in 1927 while simultaneously reminding us of our enduring connection to history and nature alike.
