EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the ruins of the Church of Santa Maria in Falerii Novi, near Civita Castellana, in the province of Viterbo, Lazio. The image takes us back to a bygone era, transporting us to the Romanesque architecture of the Middle Ages. The church's grandeur is evident even in its dilapidated state. Its towering arches and majestic columns stand as a testament to centuries past. The rose window, with its intricate design and delicate tracery, adds an air of ethereal charm to this ancient structure. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that time has not diminished the allure of these ruins. They have weathered countless storms and witnessed generations come and go. Each stone holds within it stories untold - tales from a distant past that whisper through every crack and crevice. The photographer Alinari has skillfully captured both the magnitude and fragility of this architectural marvel. Through his lens, he invites us on a journey through history - where empires rise and fall but remnants remain as silent witnesses to human triumphs and tragedies. This artwork serves as a reminder that our present is built upon layers upon layers of history; each civilization leaving behind fragments for future generations to discover. It encourages us to appreciate our heritage while also acknowledging our impermanence. In this single frame frozen in time lies an entire narrative waiting to be unraveled - one that speaks volumes about European culture during the first millennium AD until today. Let this photograph transport you into another world – one where imagination intertwines with reality amidst crumbling stones standing tall against all odds
