EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Pietro Ronchetti transports us back to the year 1969, offering a mesmerizing view of the area of Seluk in Turkey. The photograph showcases an enchanting landscape that encompasses both natural beauty and historical significance. In the foreground, we are greeted by a charming house nestled amidst rolling hillsides. Its architecture stands as a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we are drawn towards the magnificent Byzantine fortress that dominates the skyline. This imposing structure exudes strength and resilience, serving as a reminder of its military and defensive past. The composition skillfully captures both man-made structures and nature's splendor harmoniously coexisting. The lush greenery surrounding these architectural marvels adds depth to this picturesque scene, creating a truly breathtaking panorama. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is its proximity to one of Turkey's most renowned archaeological sites - Ephesus. Just beyond our field of vision lies an ancient city steeped in history, boasting ruins dating back thousands of years. This juxtaposition between modern-day Seluk with its traditional dwellings and Ephesus' ancient remnants creates a sense of timelessness within this image. Ronchetti's expert eye has masterfully captured not only physical structures but also emotions evoked by their presence against such awe-inspiring surroundings. Through his lens, he invites us on a visual journey through time where past meets present seamlessly. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari, we cannot help but be transported to another era – one filled with tales waiting to be discovered amidst these ruins and landscapes that have stood witness for centuries.
