EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of the archaeological site in Agrigento transports us back to ancient Greece, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural marvels of that era. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the majestic Temple of Hercules, with its grand Doric columns standing tall against the backdrop of Agrigento's picturesque landscape. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this temple is a testament to the enduring legacy of Greek art and civilization. Its imposing structure showcases intricate building elements and decorative sections that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon these weathered columns, we can't help but be awestruck by their sheer magnitude and beauty. The surrounding valley provides an enchanting setting for this historical treasure. From above, we witness a breathtaking panorama that encompasses not only the temple but also a winding road meandering through lush greenery. This bird's eye view allows us to appreciate both the architectural splendor and natural wonders that coexist harmoniously in this ancient city. Photographed in 1970 by Quilici Folco, this print captures not just an archaeological site but also evokes emotions associated with exploration and discovery. It invites us to delve deeper into our collective past while reminding us how far humanity has come since those early civilizations roamed these lands. As we contemplate this artwork from Alinari, let it serve as a reminder that our present-day world owes much to those who came before us. Their ingenuity and artistic prowess continue to inspire generations even centuries later – leaving an indelible mark on Europe's cultural tapestry.
