The art of fishing

The art of fishing — a journey inside Cinque Terre fishing. A reportage about the ancient work which struggles for its survival. The fisherman’s life is difficult and full of sacrifice, an existence dedicated to fishing in which work lasts both day and night and a private life only barely exists. With my photographs, I want to tell the story not solely of the hardships that this work implies, but also of the fascination it holds: the faces of fishermen as they tell their stories of a life at sea, the beauty and tranquility of dawn as the nets are lowered or raised, the joy of a good catch that repays their exhaustion … the passion and the art of fishing.
