An old bicycle and old doors of different ages are seen in a storage of the Museum
An old bicycle and old doors of different ages are seen in a storage of the Museum of Italian collector Domenico Agostinelli in Dragona, near Rome, October 30, 2014. Agostinelli, 74, has a passion that has led him over the past 60 years to pick up and collect things of all types, from antique art to everyday objects of the past and present. His collection includes a 65-million-year-old dinosaur egg, meteor fragments, a car that once belonged to American mob boss Al Capone, a lock of hair of Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi, toys, weapons, musical instruments of all kinds and many more.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glimpse into the remarkable storage of the Museum of Italian collector Domenico Agostinelli, located in Dragona near Rome. The image captures an old bicycle and a collection of doors from different eras, each bearing witness to the passage of time. Domenico Agostinelli, a passionate 74-year-old collector, has dedicated the past six decades to amassing an extraordinary assortment of artifacts ranging from antique art to everyday objects that span generations. His eclectic collection includes astonishing items such as a 65-million-year-old dinosaur egg, fragments from meteorites, Al Capone's former car, and even a lock of hair belonging to Italian national hero Giuseppe Garibaldi. The photograph not only highlights the juxtaposition between the vintage bicycle and aged doors but also offers a glimpse into Agostinelli's vast array of curiosities. From toys to weapons and musical instruments spanning various genres, his museum is truly an enchanting treasure trove. Photographer Tony Gentile masterfully captures this unique scene with his lens while providing insight into Agostinelli's lifelong passion for collecting. With its rich historical context and diverse range of objects on display, this image serves as a testament to both human curiosity and our innate desire to preserve pieces of our past for future generations.
