EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, captured by Aurelio Monteverde in 1922, we are transported to a time long gone. The image portrays a woman standing proudly beside her loyal companion - a donkey, at the ruins of the rock of Cerbaia Cantagallo. The woman's face is serene yet weathered, reflecting both strength and resilience. Her eyes gaze into the distance with an air of determination as she stands amidst the remnants of history. The donkey, too, exudes its own quiet confidence; its sturdy frame and gentle demeanor serving as a testament to its unwavering loyalty. The backdrop against which these two figures stand is equally mesmerizing. The landscape stretches out before them in all its rugged beauty - rolling hills and ancient ruins merging seamlessly together. It is a scene that speaks volumes about the passage of time; where nature reclaims what was once man-made. Monteverde's masterful composition captures not only the essence of this woman but also tells a story about human-animal connection and our relationship with our surroundings. Through his lens, he immortalizes this fleeting moment in history - one that encapsulates both vulnerability and strength. As we observe this striking portrait from nearly a century ago, we cannot help but be drawn into its timeless allure. It serves as a reminder that even amidst crumbling structures and fading memories, there exists an enduring spirit within us all – one that finds solace in companionship with creatures like this donkey who has witnessed it all alongside us.
