EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of The Temple of Apollo Epicurean in Phigalia, nestled in the picturesque Arcadian region of Greece. Dating back to approximately 429 BC, this ancient monument stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of classical Greek art. However, what makes this image truly unique is the presence of a polyester and PVC structure that was installed in 1987. This protective awning was carefully designed to shield the temple from environmental elements and preserve its delicate ruins for future generations to admire. The juxtaposition between the ancient columns and this modern addition creates an intriguing contrast, highlighting both the ephemeral nature of human structures and our ongoing efforts to safeguard these precious remnants from antiquity. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Filiberto Pittini in May 1994, we are transported back in time. The temple's majestic silhouette rises above a serene meadow adorned with lush vegetation and trees, creating a harmonious blend between man-made marvels and natural splendor. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate not only the grandeur of ancient civilizations but also their integration within their surrounding landscapes. This artwork serves as a reminder that while time may weather even the most magnificent structures, it is our duty to protect them so they may continue telling stories for centuries to come. In this single frame lies an entire narrative: one that encompasses archaeological discoveries, historical preservation efforts, breathtaking architecture, and the enduring allure of Greece's cultural heritage.
