EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The ruins of Pompeii from the sky: amphitheater" takes us on a journey back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii. The image showcases the remarkable amphitheater, an iconic symbol of Roman art and European ancient civilization. Captured by photographer Folco Quilici in 1971, this aerial view provides a unique perspective of the archaeological site. It allows us to appreciate the grandeur and scale of this historical monument that has withstood the test of time for over two millennia. Dating back to 80 BC during the Republican Period, this amphitheater holds immense cultural significance. Its architectural design is a testament to Roman engineering prowess and their love for entertainment. As we gaze upon its weathered stone walls and crumbling seats, we can almost hear echoes of long-forgotten cheers from enthusiastic crowds who once filled these stands. The photograph's composition highlights both the beauty and tragedy inherent in Pompeii's history. From above, we witness how nature has intertwined itself with human creation as lush greenery surrounds these ancient ruins. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even great civilizations are susceptible to natural forces beyond their control. Quilici's masterful capture invites contemplation about our own place within history and reminds us that what remains today is just a fraction of what was lost when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, burying Pompeii under layers of ash. As we admire this stunning artwork, let it serve as a tribute not only to Quilici's talent but also as an homage to those who have dedicated their lives to uncovering and preserving our shared past through archeology.
