SEAFARERS:
The fishermen and their courage in facing the sea day after day.
Sea as a source of life and inspiration. In this link to
double thread, the fishermen of our days are the heirs of navigators of the past
They represent an invaluable cultural deposit for Italy and obviously must be documented, told, protected.
The only way to know effectively, even before photographing, is to go, understand, see, observe and know.
They are the real farmers of the sea, men who, however, had nothing to lose on land, become part of the people of the sea.
On board you learn iron discipline. On land you can recognize them by the face dug by the sun and salt. Sailors. Accustomed to risking your life every day, in a burst of freedom never experienced before.
They spend their lives at sea, remaining impermeable to rules and boundaries. The sea makes us free and sometimes even a striped shirt is enough to make us feel it.
The desire to describe adventure as the existential, almost artistic dimension of fishing.
