EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Villani Achille transports us back in time to the ancient city of Aquileia, revealing a remarkable glimpse into the river channel that once played a crucial role in this bustling port. The image captures the essence of Aquileia's rich history and showcases its impressive architectural structures and naval prowess. The river channel depicted here served as a vital artery for transportation during the Imperial Period, allowing goods and people to flow seamlessly through Europe. It stands as a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the Romans, who constructed an intricate network of canals, sites, excavations, monuments, and complexes along its banks. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we are captivated by the remnants of ancient civilization that surround us. The ruins speak volumes about Aquileia's significance as a thriving center for trade and commerce during its heyday from the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD. The impeccable composition highlights not only the grandeur of Roman art but also showcases Europe's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations. Villani Achille expertly captures every nuance - from delicate architectural features to weathered stone walls - transporting viewers directly into this historical moment frozen in time. It is worth noting that this print was taken between 1950-1960 when archaeological discoveries were being made at an unprecedented rate in Aquileia. This particular artwork serves as both a visual record and tribute to those dedicated archaeologists who painstakingly unearthed these treasures over many years. Villani Achille's masterful photography allows us to appreciate not just one aspect but rather multiple dimensions: architecture, naval history, archeology; all converging within this single frame. As we gaze upon it today, we cannot help but marvel at how our world has evolved while simultaneously cherishing these glimpses into our pasts.
