EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Petrochemical plants in the Basento Valley (before industrialization)" takes us back to a significant era in Basilicata's history. Captured by the talented photographer Quilici, Folco in 1967, this image offers a unique glimpse into the landscape of the Basento Valley before it underwent rapid industrialization. The photograph showcases an architectural marvel nestled within nature's embrace. A cluster of petrochemical plants stands tall against a backdrop of breathtaking mountains, creating an intriguing contrast between man-made structures and untouched beauty. The factories' imposing smokestacks release plumes of smoke that blend with the surrounding countryside, painting a picture of industry coexisting with rural life. From this aerial perspective, we witness how these factories were seamlessly integrated into their surroundings. The river courses meander through lush farmland and fields, providing sustenance for both nature and humans alike. This harmonious relationship between land and industry is beautifully captured from above. As we contemplate this mesmerizing scene, it becomes evident that this photograph holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how landscapes can transform over time due to human intervention – sometimes for better or worse. Quilici's masterful composition invites viewers to reflect on our ever-evolving world while appreciating the delicate balance between progress and preservation. It encourages us to ponder what lies ahead for places like the Basento Valley as they continue to adapt to changing times. In essence, this print not only captures an awe-inspiring moment frozen in time but also sparks contemplation about humanity's impact on our environment – making it truly timeless artistry by Quilici, Folco from Alinari.
