EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting ruins of the Old Abbey or Badiazza, located in Taormina. Standing tall amidst a rugged landscape, the Norman embattled tower takes center stage, its ancient stones whispering tales of centuries gone by. Restored during the late fourteenth century, this architectural marvel showcases elements that are characteristic of Gothic design from the Middle Ages. The intricate crenelation along its walls adds an air of grandeur and strength to the structure, while a solitary turret stands proudly at one corner. The photographer skillfully captures not only the magnificence of this historical site but also its integration with nature. The surrounding landscape is wild and untamed, yet it harmoniously embraces these remnants from another era. It serves as a reminder that even in decay, beauty can be found. As we examine closer, our eyes are drawn to two light windows that punctuate the tower's facade. These delicate openings allow glimpses into what once was - perhaps they were portals through which prayers were whispered or beams of sunlight filtered into long-forgotten chambers. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this photograph evokes a sense of awe for those who appreciate history and architecture. Its timeless appeal transcends generations as it invites us to reflect on our place within Europe's rich cultural heritage. Brogi's expert composition immortalizes this moment in time when past meets present. Through his lens, he reveals not just a mere building but an enduring testament to human ingenuity and resilience against the passage of time.
