EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-140003-0007" we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image captures a moment frozen in history, as a man stands near the renowned "Bridge of the Saracens" that connects Adrano and Centuripe. Taken on February 3rd, 1914, by Aurelio Monteverde, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone. The bridge itself dates back even further, with its origins traced back to the years between 800 and 899 AD. It serves as both a testament to ancient architecture and a vital transportation link for naval and river journeys. The landscape surrounding the bridge is breathtakingly beautiful - characterized by rocky areas and lush greenery along the river courses. This picturesque setting provides an awe-inspiring backdrop for our subject's portrait. As we examine this image closely, it becomes clear that it is not just about documenting structures or landscapes; it also captures human presence within these elements. The man depicted here adds depth to the composition through his mere existence in this historical context. This print from Alinari allows us to appreciate both artistry and storytelling through visual media. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over time while marveling at what remains constant – our fascination with bridges connecting people and places. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of history captured by Monteverde's lens – an enduring testament to humanity's ingenuity in creating architectural wonders amidst nature's splendor.
