EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Hugh Rooney showcases the iconic Due Torri or Two Towers in Bologna, Emilia Romagna, Italy. Dating back to the 12th century, these leaning towers - Asinelli and Garisenda - stand tall as a testament to the city's rich history and architectural marvels. The image beautifully captures the contrasting colors of brown stone against a vibrant blue sky, creating a visually striking composition. The intricate patterns and shapes of these historic structures are brought to life through Rooney's lens, highlighting their significance as both defensive fortresses and symbols of wealth for prominent families during ancient times. As one gazes upon this photograph, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. These towers have witnessed centuries of change and transformation within Bologna's urban landscape. They have served as meeting places for locals and tourists alike, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to admire their unique lean. With references even in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, these towers hold immense cultural value beyond their physical beauty. They represent an enduring symbol of Italian heritage and continue to draw mass tourism due to their historical importance. Rooney's skillful capture invites viewers on a virtual vacation through Western Europe while providing a glimpse into Bologna's enchanting past. It serves as a reminder that travel is not only about exploring new destinations but also about appreciating the stories embedded within each architectural masterpiece we encounter along our journey.
