EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Middle Neolithic period, providing us with a glimpse into the Stone Age. The image features a pierced shell used as a whistle, discovered in the Cavern of the White Sands (Arene Candide) in Liguria, Italy. The intricately crafted shell belonged to Triton nodifer and was skillfully transformed into a functional musical instrument by our ancient ancestors. This extraordinary find offers valuable insights into their creativity and resourcefulness during this prehistoric era. Unearthed from the Necropole of Arene Candide, this unique artifact sheds light on the cultural practices and rituals of these early societies. It is an exceptional representation of how everyday objects could hold significant meaning within their communities. Preserved at Museo Civico Di Archeologia Ligure in Genoa Pegli, Italy, this piece stands as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. Its delicate beauty and historical significance make it an invaluable addition to our understanding of our ancient past. Through the lens of Luisa Ricciarini's camera, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the craftsmanship and innovation that existed long before modern technology. This photograph serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for those fascinated by archaeology and prehistory alike.
