EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Obelisk on the Pincio Hill in Rome, a remarkable monument dedicated by Emperor Hadrian to his beloved Antinous. With its rich history and cultural significance, this obelisk was discovered near the Church of Santa Croce in Jerusalem during the 16th century before finding its rightful place here in 1922, thanks to Giuseppe Marini fulfilling the wishes of Pius VII. Standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery and ancient architecture, this obelisk is a testament to both Egyptian art and Africa's ancient civilization. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and wonder as it transports viewers back in time to an era when such grand structures were erected with great precision. The photograph itself captures not only the magnificence of this commemorative structure but also highlights its intricate details. The obelisk column rises gracefully towards the sky, adorned with hieroglyphics that tell stories from centuries past. It stands proudly within a picturesque park setting, adding charm and character to Rome's urban landscape.

This photograph serves as a visual reminder of our shared human heritage while celebrating Egypt's influence on ancient civilizations across Africa.
