EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ancient art of the CAMUNI people, etched onto Permian sandstone. The image reveals a mesmerizing array of animals, human figures brandishing spears, and village buildings meticulously carved into the rock surface. These petroglyphs date back to the Iron Age/Bronze era between the 5th and 1st millennium BC. Located in the National Park of Rock Engravings in Valle Camonica, Italy, this UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site has been preserved since its induction in 1979. Photographer Elena Piccini expertly captures this horizontal cut at Capo di Ponte (BS), Naquane archaeological site during August 2016. The photograph transports us back to an era long gone but not forgotten. It offers a glimpse into prehistoric times when these enigmatic carvings were created by the peoples of ancient Italy known as CAMUNI. The intricate details depict their daily lives with precision – from hunting scenes with deer to human figures engaged in various activities. The composition also highlights architectural elements such as dwellings and huts that once formed part of this vibrant village community. This remarkable fusion of nature's canvas with human creativity is a testament to our shared history and cultural heritage. Elena Piccini's lens immortalizes this extraordinary artwork for all generations to appreciate and marvel at its significance within Lombardy's rich archaeological landscape.
