EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cittadella, a medieval city steeped in history and architectural grandeur. The image showcases a magnificent tower nestled within the sturdy city walls, transporting us back to 1220 A. D. , when this impressive structure was first erected. The Gothic charm of Cittadella is evident in every detail of this photograph. The intricate craftsmanship and meticulous design of the tower speak volumes about the skill and dedication of its builders. As we gaze upon it, we can almost imagine knights patrolling these walls, ready to defend their beloved city from any threat that may arise. The towering presence of the fortified structure against the backdrop of an expansive landscape adds another layer of awe-inspiring beauty to this image. It reminds us that Cittadella not only served as a military stronghold but also offered its inhabitants breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. With its aerial perspective and birds-eye view, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the architectural marvels and natural splendor that defined Europe during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity while capturing an era long gone by. Photographed in 1968 but depicting an artwork dating back centuries earlier, this print by Quilici Folco transports us through time, inviting contemplation on our shared past. Whether viewed for historical appreciation or artistic inspiration, it serves as a reminder that even today's modern cities owe much to their ancient predecessors.
