EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable CAMUNI Rock n. 23, a petroglyph carved on Permian sandstone in the National Park of Rock Engravings in Italy's Camonica Valley. The intricate design depicts a figure of a four-wheeled carriage drawn by horses, offering us a glimpse into ancient transportation methods and the ingenuity of prehistoric peoples. Dating back to the Iron Age and Bronze Age, this UNESCO-recognized site holds immense historical significance as it provides valuable insights into the lives and cultures of ancient Italian civilizations. Elena Piccini expertly captures this archaeological wonder with her horizontal cut photograph taken in August 2016. The image transports us to Capo di Ponte, where Naquane is located within Lombardy's breathtaking landscape. Here, rock engravings adorn the sandstone cliffs, showcasing an array of petroglyphs that tell stories from centuries past. This particular engraving stands out due to its depiction of animal traction and transport - highlighting how working animals played a vital role in early societies. As we admire this piece of rock archaeology preserved through time, we are reminded not only of our shared human history but also our connection to nature and its enduring beauty. Elena Piccini's skillful lens allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind these ancient carvings and their cultural significance as part of Indo-European civilization.
