EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Monreale takes us back to the enchanting city in 1970, offering a unique perspective on its architectural wonders and breathtaking landscape. The photograph, captured by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, showcases the intricate details of this historic Sicilian town nestled amidst rolling hills and overlooking the sparkling coast. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the magnificent structure dominating the frame – Monreale Cathedral. This religious marvel stands proudly as a testament to Christian artistry and craftsmanship. Its grandeur is evident from above as we witness its ornate domes, towering spires, and exquisite mosaics that adorn every inch of its facade. Beyond the cathedral lies an array of charming houses and buildings that make up Monreale's urban fabric. From this vantage point high above, we can appreciate how these structures seamlessly blend with their natural surroundings while still maintaining their own distinct character. The coastal views visible in this photo add another layer of beauty to Monreale's already picturesque setting. The azure waters gently caress the rocky shores below while boats dotting the coastline create a sense of tranquility against nature's rugged backdrop. As if frozen in time, birds soar gracefully across this aerial canvas – a reminder that life continues to thrive within these ancient walls. Their presence adds movement and vitality to an otherwise static image. Quilici's masterful composition captures not only Monreale’s physical attributes but also its essence – a harmonious coexistence between man-made marvels and Mother Nature herself. It invites viewers into a world where history meets contemporary life; where spirituality intertwines with everyday existence; where architecture merges seamlessly with stunning landscapes. This remarkable photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document - preserving for eternity the timeless allure of Monreale from an awe-inspiring bird’s eye perspective.
