EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the archaic period of Ancient Rome, offering a unique view from the mouth of the Cloaca Maxima. The Cloaca Maxima, also known as Cloaca Massima or Cloaque Maxime, was an impressive drain collector that originated under Tarquin the Old and extended all the way to Tarquin the Superb. Dating back to the 6th century BC, this photograph by Giancarlo Costa provides a glimpse into Roman urban planning and their advanced understanding of hygiene and health. The image showcases a remarkable feat of engineering for its time, highlighting how Ancient Rome prioritized sanitation even in its earliest days. The composition beautifully captures both the historical significance and architectural grandeur of this ancient sewer system. It reminds us that beneath our feet lies a hidden world where innovation meets necessity. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how such an intricate network was constructed with limited resources available during that era. Costa's masterful photography transports us through time, allowing us to appreciate not only Ancient Rome's achievements but also its enduring legacy on modern civilization. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's constant pursuit of progress and improvement in every aspect of life – from infrastructure to public health – echoing across centuries.
