Adriano's Market Photo Print

▶ Listen: the story of this image, in Vittorio Storaro's words (1.5 min)

From La Civiltà Romana by three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, this image is set at the Temple of Hadrian in Ephesus, on the Aegean coast of present-day Turkey. Adriano is Italian for Hadrian. The small temple on Curetes Street, the ancient city's main street, was dedicated to the emperor in the 2nd century AD, and its Corinthian facade, rebuilt from the original stones in the 1950s, still faces the street.

Each print carries Vittorio Storaro's signature, printed with the image.

Storaro read the empire as roads that leave Rome and always come back, carrying people, goods and ideas. Ephesus, a leading city of Roman Asia, was one of the places those roads reached.

This versatile print works beautifully in custom framing solutions, allowing you to create a personalized presentation that complements your interior design aesthetic. Perfect for art lovers who appreciate the intersection of imperial history and contemporary photographic interpretation in an accessible fine art format.
