EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a literary treasure from ancient Greece - a papyrus fragment of "Phedrus" by the renowned philosopher Plato. The image captures the delicate and intricate details of this historical artifact, preserved at the University of Milan's Institute of Papyrology. Plato, one of the most influential figures in Western philosophy, lived between 428 and 348 BC. His work explores various themes such as love, knowledge, and morality. "Phedrus" considered one of his masterpieces, delves into the nature of rhetoric and examines the power of speech to persuade and manipulate. The photograph beautifully highlights the significance and beauty inherent in this ancient piece. Its aged texture tells a story that spans centuries, connecting us with an era long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to Ancient Greece - a time when great thinkers like Plato shaped our understanding of life itself. Located in Milan's prestigious institute dedicated to preserving these invaluable artifacts, this papyrus serves as a testament to human intellectual curiosity throughout history. It reminds us that wisdom knows no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and space. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we can appreciate both the artistic value and scholarly importance held within this literary relic. This image invites us to reflect on our own pursuit for knowledge while paying homage to those who paved its path before us.
