EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the main door of the ancient Mother Church in Bivona, nestled in the enchanting environs of Agrigento. The door's exquisite Norman style, dating back to the Middle Ages, transports us to a bygone era in Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. The photograph, taken around 1890, showcases remarkable architectural elements that stand as testaments to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The arches gracefully curve towards each other, forming an elegant entrance that beckons visitors into a world steeped in history. Intricate decorations adorn every inch of this magnificent structure, showcasing intricate carvings and meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this artwork from the XIV century, we are reminded of how architecture can transcend time and connect us with our ancestors. Each stone tells a story; each section reveals secrets passed down through generations. This doorway serves as a gateway not only into a place of worship but also into an understanding of our collective past. Nature too plays its part in enhancing this awe-inspiring sight. Geomorphological features surround the church, harmoniously blending with its majestic presence. The rocks seem to whisper tales from centuries long gone by while simultaneously grounding us firmly in the present moment. Through Brogi's lens, we are transported across time and space – invited to appreciate both human artistry and natural wonders alike. This print is more than just an image; it is a portal that allows us to witness history come alive before our very eyes.
