EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning mosaic floor of "The house of Dionysus" one of the Roman domus in Ortaglia, Italy. The intricate detail and vibrant colors transport viewers back to ancient times, immersing them in the rich history and artistry of the Roman era. At the center of this mosaic masterpiece stands Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and revelry. He is depicted with grace and power, holding a staff adorned with grapevines, symbolizing his association with fertility and abundance. By his side rests a majestic panther, an animal often associated with Dionysus due to its connection to wildness and untamed nature. The craftsmanship exhibited in this mosaic is truly remarkable. Each tile meticulously placed to form intricate patterns that bring life to these mythological figures. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect - from the delicate facial expressions on both Dionysus and the panther, to their flowing garments that seem ready to come alive at any moment. As we gaze upon this image captured by Ghigo Roli, we are reminded not only of the artistic brilliance displayed but also of our shared human heritage. This site has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011, emphasizing its significance as a cultural treasure for all humanity. Through this photograph, we are transported into a world where mythology intertwines with daily life; where gods walked among mortals within their own homes. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind
