EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Acqui Terme, where we are confronted with the awe-inspiring ruins of the Roman aqueduct. Standing tall against the backdrop of a picturesque landscape, these remnants from the Augustan and Imperial periods serve as a testament to the grandeur and engineering prowess of ancient Rome. The photograph, taken in 1956 by Alinari, Fratelli, captures not only the physical remains of this remarkable aqueduct but also evokes a sense of wonder about Europe's rich ancient civilization. The arches that once carried water through this magnificent structure now stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination is ignited with thoughts of bustling streets filled with Romans going about their daily lives. We envision how vital this aqueduct must have been for supplying water to Acqui Terme's inhabitants and marvel at its enduring legacy. The composition skillfully frames both nature and history within one frame. The juxtaposition between lush greenery and weathered stone creates an intriguing contrast that highlights both beauty and decay. It reminds us that even great civilizations eventually succumb to time's relentless march. Alinari's photograph invites us into a world long past but still present in these haunting ruins. It encourages us to appreciate not only the architectural achievements but also sparks curiosity about what lies beneath – hidden sites waiting patiently for archeologists' excavations. In essence, this print serves as a visual gateway into history itself – an invitation to explore Europe's ancient civilization through its monuments and complexes like never before.
