EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Stefano Rellandini, the ancient Colosseum stands tall and majestic in the serene night of Rome. The iconic landmark takes center stage as its lights are switched off for Earth Hour, a global initiative to raise awareness about climate change. The absence of artificial lighting allows us to appreciate the architectural marvel that is the Colosseum against a backdrop of a tranquil sky. The creative use of light and shadow accentuates every intricate detail of this historic building, from its towering pillars to its grand arches. With no people present, we are left alone with the atmospheric beauty and weathered charm that has made the Colosseum an enduring symbol of Roman history. This image serves as a reminder not only of our planet's natural wonders but also our responsibility to protect them. Through initiatives like Earth Hour, we can collectively make small changes that have a big impact on preserving our environment for future generations. Stefano Rellandini's skillful composition captures both the timeless allure and vulnerability of this ancient structure. It invites us to reflect on how human actions can shape our world while urging us to take action in safeguarding it.
