EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the haunting beauty of Old Bussana, a small medieval village in San Remo, devastated by an earthquake. Taken in 1973 by renowned photographer Quilici Folco, this print showcases the remnants of a once thriving community. The image focuses on a weathered door and building elements that stand as silent witnesses to the village's tragic past. The intricate decorations and sections reveal the rich architectural history of Old Bussana, while broken windows hint at lives abruptly interrupted. In the background looms a dilapidated church, its Christian symbolism contrasting with the surrounding destruction. The structure stands as a testament to resilience amidst chaos, reminding us of both faith and fragility. Adding an unexpected element to this scene is a female nude sculpture adorning one of the buildings. Its presence evokes questions about art's endurance in times of crisis and serves as a reminder that even amidst devastation, human creativity persists. Nature reclaims what was once lost as climbing plants weave their way through cracks in walls and vegetation sprouts from forgotten corners. This juxtaposition between decay and growth creates an eerie yet strangely beautiful atmosphere within the frame. Quilici Folco's masterful composition allows viewers to reflect upon themes such as impermanence, human strength, and nature's ability to heal. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness both tragedy and hope coexisting within this forsaken village. This print from Alinari invites contemplation on our own mortality while celebrating humanity's capacity for resilience against all odds.
