EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1895, when Pompeii's archaeological excavations were underway. The image showcases the remarkable work of archeologists as they meticulously uncover ancient treasures buried beneath layers of volcanic ash. In this snapshot captured by Brogi, we witness a scene filled with bustling activity. A group of dedicated individuals, clad in traditional archaeologist attire, can be seen tirelessly working amidst the ruins. Their presence adds a sense of scale to the vastness of Pompeii's archaeological area. The photograph offers a glimpse into an excavation site where monumental structures and complexes are gradually being revealed from their long slumber. Scaffolding surrounds some areas, indicating ongoing restoration efforts to preserve these historical marvels for future generations. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate architecture that emerges from beneath centuries-old debris. The movable structures found within these ancient houses provide valuable insights into daily life during Pompeii's heyday. Beyond the immediate excavation site lies a landscape dotted with ruins stretching as far as the eye can see. This hauntingly beautiful panorama serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and nature's destructive power. Brogi's skillful composition captures not only the physical remnants left behind by an ancient civilization but also evokes emotions tied to loss and rediscovery. It is through photographs like this that we are transported back in time, allowing us to contemplate our place within history and appreciate those who dedicate themselves to unraveling its mysteries. This print stands as a testament to Alinari's commitment to preserving cultural heritage through visual storytelling – inviting viewers on an immersive journey through time without ever leaving their present-day surroundings.
