EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of the archaeological site of Selinunte in Trapani, Italy takes us on a journey back in time to the year 1970. The renowned photographer, Folco Quilici, skillfully captures the essence of this ancient wonder through his lens. As we gaze upon this photo print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the vastness and grandeur of Selinunte's ruins. The remnants of temples and monuments stand proudly amidst a landscape that has witnessed centuries of history unfold. The meticulous excavations conducted at this site reveal layers upon layers of stories waiting to be unraveled. The composition is truly breathtaking as it showcases not only the architectural marvels but also the surrounding natural beauty. A road winds its way through the scene, leading us deeper into this historical treasure trove. From high above, we can appreciate how these structures were seamlessly integrated into their environment. The birds-eye perspective allows us to grasp just how expansive Selinunte once was - an entire city frozen in time. We can almost imagine bustling streets filled with merchants and citizens going about their daily lives within these now silent walls. Quilici's mastery lies not only in capturing physical structures but also in evoking emotions within viewers. This photograph elicits a sense of awe and reverence for those who came before us; it reminds us that civilizations rise and fall like waves crashing against ancient shores. In conclusion, Quilici's aerial view print transports us to a bygone era where history comes alive before our very eyes. It serves as a testament to mankind's enduring quest for knowledge and understanding through archaeology—a visual feast for both art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
