EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Rocca, Venosa" by Quilici, Folco takes us back to the enchanting town of Venosa in 1967. The image showcases the magnificent architectural marvel that is La Rocca, a fortified tower that stands proudly as a symbol of military strength and defensive prowess. From this aerial perspective, we are granted a breathtaking birds-eye view of both the castle itself and the surrounding cityscape. The intricate details of La Rocca's structure come alive as every stone seems to tell a story of its own. Its towering walls rise majestically against the sky, evoking a sense of grandeur and historical significance. As our gaze extends beyond the castle walls, we are treated to an expansive vista of Venosa. From this vantage point, we can appreciate how strategically positioned La Rocca was for surveillance purposes during ancient times. It offers an unparalleled panoramic view that allowed defenders to anticipate any potential threats from afar. The composition exudes a timeless charm with its monochromatic palette emphasizing texture and form. The absence of color adds an air of nostalgia while enhancing the dramatic impact created by light and shadow play on these ancient structures. Quilici's masterful capture not only highlights the architectural beauty but also invites us to reflect upon history's imprint on this picturesque Italian town. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating enduring structures that withstand the test of time. With its rich historical context and mesmerizing aesthetics, "La Rocca, Venosa" transports viewers into another era where castles stood tall as guardians over their cities – reminding us all about our shared heritage etched within these remarkable edifices.
