Taken in 1970 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this print showcases the rich tapestry of building elements, decorations, and sections that make up Palermo's unique urban landscape. The focal point of the image is an impressive dome or cupola that stands proudly amidst a sea of rooftops. Its intricate structure and exquisite detailing hint at the influence Arabic architecture has had on this vibrant city throughout its history. The juxtaposition between traditional housing and modern structures creates a fascinating contrast, showcasing how Palermo seamlessly blends its ancient past with contemporary developments.

Quilici's masterful composition captures every nook and cranny from above while highlighting the beauty that lies hidden within each corner of Palermo. From terracotta roofs to charming courtyards tucked away behind facades, every detail tells a story about centuries-old traditions merging harmoniously with contemporary progress. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation; it encapsulates not just buildings but also emotions evoked by witnessing such grandeur from above.
