EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking ruins of the Castello di Romena, nestled in the picturesque Casentino valley. The castle, a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture from the Middle Ages, stands as a testament to Europe's rich history and cultural heritage. Dating back to the 11th century, this photograph captures both the timeless beauty and historical significance of this ancient structure. Its sturdy building elements and intricate decorations offer a glimpse into medieval craftsmanship and design. The image reveals a courtyard within the castle walls, displaying its military and defensive features that once protected its inhabitants from external threats. A fortified tower rises majestically against an urban backdrop, reminding us of its strategic importance during turbulent times. As we explore beyond the castle's boundaries, we are treated to an enchanting view of winding road avenues surrounded by lush wooded areas. The landscape gently rolls across hillsides, creating a serene ambiance that has remained unchanged for centuries. From an aerial perspective or bird's eye view, we gain a new appreciation for this architectural marvel set amidst nature's splendor. It is as if time has stood still since its construction over a thousand years ago. Quilici Folco skillfully captured this moment in 1971 through his lens. His artwork transports us back in time while also inviting contemplation on our own place within history. This print serves as more than just decorative art; it is an invitation to immerse ourselves in Europe's past and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
