EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us to the enchanting country of Alberobello, where a cluster of unique cylindrical houses with conical roofs, known as Trulli, dot the landscape. Taken in 1974 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this image captures the essence of traditional architecture and rural living. The Trulli are the epitome of architectural ingenuity and cultural heritage. Each house is meticulously crafted from local limestone, creating a seamless blend with the surrounding farmland countryside. The conical roofs add an element of whimsy to these structures, resembling something out of a fairytale. From an aerial perspective, we gain a bird's eye view that reveals not only the intricate design and layout but also how these trullo houses form their own urban district within Alberobello. It is fascinating to see how they seamlessly integrate into the landscape while maintaining their individuality. The photograph exudes tranquility as it captures this picturesque scene bathed in soft sunlight. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on appreciating the beauty and simplicity of these cylindrical houses against nature's backdrop. Quilici's masterful composition highlights both the grandeur and intimacy found within this unique architectural wonderland. As viewers, we are transported back in time to witness a piece of history frozen in its purest form. This print serves as a reminder that architecture can be more than just functional; it can be artistry itself. It invites us to marvel at human creativity while immersing ourselves in the charm and allure offered by places like Alberobello – where tradition meets innovation amidst breathtaking landscapes.
