EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting ruins of the ancient Mother Church in Bivona, nestled within the picturesque environs of Agrigento. The image showcases a remarkable blend of architectural styles, with influences from both the Norman era and Middle Ages evident in every stone. Dating back to approximately the 14th century, this magnificent structure stands as a testament to Europe's rich history. Its imposing bell tower reaches towards the heavens, while an intricately designed oculus adorns its facade. The building elements and decorations are meticulously captured by Brogi's lens, allowing us to appreciate their beauty even after centuries of weathering. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn not only to the architectural marvels but also to nature's handiwork. A single light window illuminates part of the scene, casting shadows that add depth and mystery. Above it all hangs a cloud-filled sky, reminding us of meteorological phenomena that have shaped these surroundings over time. The rugged geomorphology surrounding Bivona adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. The rocky landscape serves as a reminder that civilizations rise and fall against nature's backdrop - a poignant reflection on humanity's place in history. Brogi's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail preserved within this print. It is not just an image frozen in time; it is an invitation for contemplation about our collective past and how it shapes our present-day world.
