EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Max Rossi, Lazios mascot eagle Olimpia finds itself in a fierce encounter with an unexpected adversary. As the majestic bird soars through the sky before the start of their Serie A soccer match against Chievo Verona at Rome's Olympic stadium, a fearless crow launches an audacious attack. The image showcases a remarkable clash between two contrasting avian species. The predator and prey engage in a dramatic confrontation, symbolizing the eternal struggle for survival in nature. Against the backdrop of an expansive blue sky, their silhouettes create a visually stunning composition that highlights both courage and vulnerability. Olimpia, representing Lazio Football Club with its iconic ribbon-clad wing, embodies strength and determination as it confronts its feathered foe head-on. This extraordinary moment captures not only the intensity of competition but also serves as a reminder of how our environment can unexpectedly challenge us. Through creative use of light and shadow, Rossi masterfully freezes this split-second encounter forever on film. With no people present to distract from this natural spectacle, viewers are drawn into witnessing this breathtaking display unfold high above ground level. This photograph is not just about football; it transcends sports to celebrate the beauty and unpredictability found within Italian nature. It reminds us that even amidst organized chaos on the field below, there exists a world where animals continue to navigate their own battles for dominance in flight.
