EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Cittadella city walls, dating back to 1220 A. D. The Gothic architecture and military fortifications showcased in this artwork transport us back to the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into Europe's rich past. The photograph, taken in 1968, perfectly encapsulates the grandeur of these ancient walls that have withstood the test of time for over seven centuries. Standing tall and proud, they serve as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. From an aerial perspective, we are treated to a breathtaking view of not only the fortified tower but also the surrounding countryside. This panoramic vista allows us to appreciate both the strategic importance of these walls as well as their integration within nature's landscape. The artist behind this masterpiece is Quilici Folco from Alinari. Through his lens, he has captured every intricate detail of this architectural marvel – from its sturdy stone structure to its commanding presence against the sky. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at how such structures were built during an era devoid of modern technology. It serves as a reminder that our ancestors possessed immense skill and knowledge in creating enduring legacies for future generations. This print is more than just a work of art; it is a window into history itself. It invites us on an immersive journey through time while igniting our imagination about life during medieval Europe's first and second millenniums.
