EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ancient CAMUNI figures of quadrupedal animals and duelists, etched onto Permian sandstone in the Camonica Valley. These petroglyphs, dating back to the Iron Age and Bronze Age (5th-1st millennium BC), hold immense historical significance as they have been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1979. Photographed by Elena Piccini in August 2016 at Naquane, Valle Camonica, this image captures the essence of an Indo-European civilization that once thrived in this region. The rock engravings depict various scenes from prehistoric life, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of peoples who inhabited ancient Italy. The National Park of Rock Engravings serves as a bridgehead to explore this rich archaeological area. Located in Lombardy, Italy, it houses a museum where visitors can delve deeper into the world of rock archaeology. The petroglyphs themselves reveal fascinating details about weapons such as lances and clavas used during that era. As you admire this photograph's fine art quality, take a moment to appreciate how these timeless images on Permian sandstone have survived for centuries. They serve not only as artistic expressions but also as invaluable records of our ancestors' existence and their deep connection with nature and animals.
