EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable CAMUNI figure of a quadrupedal creature, meticulously engraved using the ancient technique known as "hammer". The engraving was skillfully created by tapping on the rugged surface of Permian sandstone with either a stone or metal tool, resulting in delicate circular concavities. The photograph was taken by Elena Piccini in August 2016 at Naquane, located in the enchanting Valle Camonica within Lombardy, Italy. This archaeological area holds immense historical significance and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The image transports us back to the Iron Age/Bronze era between the 5th and 1st millennium BC when these petroglyphs were crafted. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Italy and its Indo-European civilization. Within this frame lies an amalgamation of artistry, archaeology, and nature's raw beauty. The intricate rock engravings depict various animals that once roamed this land, providing valuable insights into prehistoric life. As we admire this piece captured by Elena Piccini's lens, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. Their creativity etched onto stone stands as a testament to their existence and serves as an enduring link between past and present generations. Let this photograph transport you to an era long gone but not forgotten—a time when humans expressed their stories through enigmatic symbols carved upon rocks for all eternity.
