EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Filippo Monteforte, we are transported to the heart of Rome during a momentous celebration. The image showcases a harmonious blend of ancient history and modern life as a dog peacefully rests beside a column of men dressed as Roman centurions at Circo Massimo. The photograph was taken during an extraordinary parade held on April 24,2016, commemorating the legendary foundation of Rome in 753 B. C. As the eternal city pays homage to its rich past, this snapshot encapsulates the essence of timelessness and continuity. The juxtaposition between the slumbering canine and the stoic figures clad in traditional centurion attire creates an intriguing contrast. It symbolizes how even amidst grand festivities and historical reenactments, life goes on with simplicity and tranquility. Circo Massimo serves as an ideal backdrop for such commemorative events due to its historical significance as one of ancient Rome's largest public spaces. Its vastness echoes with whispers from centuries past while providing space for contemporary celebrations. Filippo Monteforte's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes emotions that resonate deeply within us all - nostalgia, awe, and reverence for our shared human heritage. This remarkable photograph reminds us that even amid grandeur and pageantry, it is often in moments of quiet repose where true connections are forged between past and present.
