EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Latomia dei Cordari in the environs of Syracuse. Dated around 1929, this image showcases a breathtaking view that combines both natural wonders and human presence. In the foreground, we are immediately drawn to a peculiar natural pillar that stands tall and proud. Its unique shape and texture evoke a sense of mystery, leaving us wondering about its origin and formation. Underneath this bizarre creation of nature, we catch sight of a visitor who adds scale to the scene. The figure's silhouette against the rocky backdrop emphasizes their smallness compared to the grandeur surrounding them. Latomia dei Cordari is renowned for its archaeological significance, serving as an excavation site where ancient civilizations once thrived. This photograph captures not only these historical remnants but also highlights the mesmerizing geomorphological features found within this cave-like landscape. The composition expertly frames a picturesque view with various natural elements and phenomena coming together harmoniously. It invites us on a journey through time, allowing our imagination to wander amidst these rocky areas filled with hidden stories waiting to be discovered.
