EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting old city of Rhodes, Greece. Taken by the talented photographer Pietro Ronchetti in 1962, it captures an ancient structure that stands proudly amidst the historical landscape. The photograph showcases a remarkable archway, adorned with intricate building elements and decorative sections. The architectural design is a testament to the rich history and fortification of this magnificent city. Its military and defensive purpose is evident through its sturdy walls that have witnessed countless stories unfold over centuries. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength embedded within these weathered stones. Each crack tells a tale of battles fought long ago, while every engraved detail speaks volumes about the craftsmanship of those who built it. The composition beautifully frames this old structure against a backdrop of narrow cobblestone streets and traditional Greek houses. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when life unfolded at a slower pace within these historic walls. Ronchetti's skillful use of photography adds an air of timelessness to the scene, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and enduring beauty. This print from Alinari serves as more than just an artistic representation; it invites us on a journey through time to experience firsthand the grandeur and majesty that once defined Rhodes' old city.
