EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pollution: tributary of the Po, Tanaro Piedmont" taken in 1974 by renowned photographer Quilici Folco, transports us to a time when environmental concerns were beginning to gain global attention. The image captures a striking juxtaposition between the serene beauty of nature and the harsh reality of pollution. In this photograph, we see the tranquil waters of the Tanaro River flowing through a picturesque landscape. Lush wooded areas and fields surround the riverbanks, creating an idyllic countryside scene. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that something is amiss. The presence of naval and river transportation structures hints at human activity in this otherwise pristine environment. These man-made elements stand as stark reminders of our impact on nature's delicate balance. Moreover, they serve as conduits for pollution to infiltrate these once untouched waters. The polluted tributary itself is depicted with an eerie quality - its surface marred by unnatural substances floating atop it like scars on an otherwise flawless canvas. This haunting sight serves as a poignant reminder that even seemingly remote locations are not immune to mankind's disregard for our planet's well-being. Folco's masterful composition highlights both natural elements and phenomena alongside those caused by human intervention – emphasizing their interdependence while underscoring their potential for conflict. Through his lens, he sheds light on one of humanity's greatest challenges: how can we coexist harmoniously with nature without compromising its integrity? This powerful photograph prompts viewers to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards protecting our environment from further degradation caused by pollution. It reminds us that every action we take has consequences – both positive and negative – shaping not only our immediate surroundings but also impacting future generations' ability to enjoy Earth’s bountiful gifts.
