EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1930, transports us back in time to the ancient city of Paestum in Campania. In this mesmerizing image, we see a woman standing amidst the majestic remains of the Temple of Ceres or Athena. The temple, with its imposing columns and grandeur, stands as a testament to the rich history and archeological wonders that lie within these sacred grounds. The woman's presence adds a sense of scale to the vastness of this architectural marvel. As she gazes upon the ruins before her, one can't help but wonder about her thoughts and emotions. Is she contemplating the significance of this place? Or perhaps imagining what life was like during its heyday? Her attire provides an interesting contrast between modern fashion and ancient ruins. Dressed elegantly for daytime exploration, she carries a purse while wearing fashionable footwear and a stylish hat. This juxtaposition highlights how history intertwines with our present-day lives. Surrounded by meadows and countryside landscapes dotted with remnants from another era, it is impossible not to be captivated by both nature's beauty and man-made creations. Aurelio Monteverde skillfully captures this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to glimpse into both past and present simultaneously. His composition beautifully frames not only the woman but also showcases various building elements such as stairways, architraves, capitals adorned with intricate decorations - all testaments to human ingenuity. This photograph serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since their creation; these temples continue to inspire awe and fascination among visitors today. It invites us on an imaginary journey through time where we can explore ancient civilizations while appreciating our own existence within this ever-changing world.
