EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the year 1971, capturing a rare scene on the Egadi Islands. Favignana, known for its picturesque landscapes and rich marine life, is showcased here as one of the last strongholds of tunny-fishing nets in this region. The image transports us to a time when traditional fishing methods were still prevalent, before modern technology took over. The intricate network of nets stretches across the crystal-clear waters, creating an awe-inspiring sight that speaks volumes about man's harmonious relationship with nature. A lone fisherman can be seen in the distance, standing tall amidst his floating domain. His silhouette against the horizon represents not only his dedication but also pays homage to generations of fishermen who have relied on these ancient techniques for their livelihoods. The primary elements at play - water and light - add depth and texture to this composition. The gentle ripples on the surface mirror both tranquility and anticipation as they await their next catch. It is a reminder that beneath these waves lies an entire ecosystem teeming with life – from vibrant schools of tuna swimming freely to countless other vertebrates inhabiting this underwater world. Folco Quilici's masterful lens captures more than just a scene; it immortalizes an era where work was intertwined with passion and respect for nature's bounties. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity while simultaneously urging us to preserve our natural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, let it serve as a poignant reminder that progress should never come at the expense of our environment or traditions. Let us cherish these glimpses into history so that future generations may appreciate both our past accomplishments and learn from them in shaping a sustainable future for all living beings sharing this planet
