EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Aurelio Monteverde in 1909, we are transported back in time to the enchanting countryside of Castrogiovanni, now known as Enna. The image showcases two young boys walking along a rustic country road that winds its way beneath towering ancient walls. These walls, steeped in history and mystery, stand tall as a testament to the rich heritage of this Italian town. They exude an air of grandeur and resilience, reminding us of the military and defensive structures that once protected this land. As we gaze upon the boys' figures against this backdrop, their smallness emphasizes the magnitude of these ancient ruins. The landscape surrounding them is nothing short of breathtaking. Vast farmlands stretch out into the distance, painting a picturesque scene reminiscent of idyllic countryside living. The lush greenery adds depth to the composition while providing a stark contrast against the weathered stones. One cannot help but notice one boy's hat – perhaps an object cherished for both practicality and style during those times. It serves as a reminder that even amidst historical marvels and vast landscapes, everyday objects hold significance too. Monteverde's skilled eye captures not only architectural wonders but also evokes emotions through his lens. This photograph invites us to reflect on our connection with history and nature – how they intertwine seamlessly within our surroundings. As we admire this timeless print from Alinari's collection dedicated to ruins, sites, excavations, monuments, complexes - archeology enthusiasts will find themselves captivated by its beauty. Let it serve as a reminder that sometimes all it takes is an old photograph to transport us back in time and ignite our imagination about what life was like over a century ago in enchanting places like Castrogiovanni (Enna).
