This series is part of a over one hundred image long term project started two years ago. Eastern suburbs of Rome (Italy). White streets, covered with stones and gravel, rusty gates half open, right there, alongside the most chaotic arteries of the capital, seem to announce an unexpected guest; the infinite perspective of the rows and orchards, the splendor of the newly turned clods in the fields and the time that seems to turn back, this is how the journey begins through the unexpected and extraordinary discovery of an ever-present and nearby territory. The author immerses himself in the memory of his childhood weekends spent in contact with the earth. Today, like yesterday, he rediscovers marked faces, passion and sacrifices. The bitter cold, the sun that burns, the humidity that sticks to clothes and penetrates to the bone. Stories of humility and a great respect for the earth. Men and women, the human being, guardian of an inestimable value, the dignity of the soul that resists and does not bend to the easy in the face of the rhythm of the seasons, the confirmation of a today that will surely know how to cultivate the roots of its future.
