EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Impronte umane Pompei" by Giorgio Sommer takes us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii. The image showcases a remarkable scene, frozen in history, capturing the essence of human existence and leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory. The photograph depicts a series of footprints imprinted on the ground, revealing the presence of individuals who once walked these same streets centuries ago. These haunting imprints serve as a poignant reminder of the lives that were abruptly interrupted by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Giorgio Sommer, an Italian photographer born in Germany during the mid-19th century, skillfully captures this moment with his mastery of albumen silver print technique. His attention to detail and composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to Pompeii itself - its bustling streets filled with merchants and citizens going about their daily routines. We can almost hear echoes from the past whispering stories long forgotten. This photograph serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality while marveling at humanity's enduring spirit throughout time. It is a testament to how photography can preserve moments that would otherwise be lost forever.
