EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ancient petroglyphs on Permian sandstone in the National Park of Rock Engravings, located in the Camonica Valley, Italy. The focal point of the image is a remarkable CAMUNI figure of Capotribu, positioned at the center with an air of authority. To its left, a headstock rests gracefully while human figures surround them both. A hunting scene unfolds before our eyes, depicting the skill and prowess of these ancient peoples. The significance of this archaeological site cannot be overstated; it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. This recognition speaks to its historical importance and provides insight into prehistoric life during the Iron Age and Bronze-5th/1st millennium BC. Photographed by Elena Piccini in August 2016, this image captures not only the beauty but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring connection with art throughout history. The rock engravings depicted here are remnants from an Indo-European civilization that once thrived in Lombardy. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the rich cultural heritage preserved within these petroglyphs. It is through images like these that we can appreciate and learn from our ancestors' creativity and ingenuity.
