EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable CAMUNI Rock n. 23, a petroglyph on Permian sandstone in the National Park of Rock Engravings, located in the picturesque Camonica Valley of Lombardy, Italy. The intricate rock engraving depicts a figure of a four-wheeled carriage drawn by horses, offering us a glimpse into the transport methods used during the Iron Age and Bronze Age. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, this archaeological area holds immense historical significance. It serves as an invaluable bridgehead to understanding the prehistoric peoples of ancient Italy and their innovative means of transportation using animal traction. The energy and ingenuity captured within this artwork speak volumes about the Indo-European civilization that once thrived here. The draft horse pulling the wagon symbolizes both power and unity among these early communities. Elena Piccini's expert photography beautifully captures every detail of this rock art masterpiece. Her vertical cut composition allows us to appreciate not only the intricacy of each stroke but also provides an outlook into how these petroglyphs were integrated into their natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors. This image is not just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human creativity and resilience throughout history.
