EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable CAMUNI hunting scene, a collection of petroglyphs etched onto Permian sandstone. Located in the National Park of Rock Engravings in Valle Camonica, Italy, this UNESCO-recognized World Heritage Site has been preserved since its discovery in 1979. The photograph was skillfully captured by Elena Piccini in August 2016 at the Naquane site. The image transports us back to the Iron Age and Bronze Age, providing a glimpse into the lives of ancient peoples who inhabited this region between the 5th and 1st millennium BC. These intricate rock engravings depict scenes of hunting, revealing their deep connection with nature and reliance on it for sustenance. As we admire these graffiti-like markings carved into stone, we are reminded of the rich archaeological history that lies beneath our feet. This museum-like setting invites us to explore further into humanity's past and appreciate how artistry transcends time. The Permian sandstone serves as a canvas for these ancient artists' expressions, showcasing their creativity and storytelling abilities. It is fascinating to witness how Indo-European civilization left its mark on this landscape through such detailed depictions. Elena Piccini's expertly composed photograph captures not only the beauty but also the significance of this archaeological site. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity while reminding us of our shared heritage with those who came before us.
