“Sadows in the shade…”
This Portfolio is inspired by a poem by the Italian poet Alda Merini entitled : Last night was love
This is the presentation of the Portfolio.
Last night was love
"Last night was love,
you and I in the
fugitives and fugitives
with a kiss and a mouth
like in an abstract painting:
You and I in love
beautifully next door
I groaned and I said so.
but this emotion of mine
she died in the words..."
Alda Merini
In Italy on June 5, 2016 came into force after a long and difficult parliamentary process, the Law on Civil Unions between Persons of the same sex, which affirmed the legal recognition of the couple formed by persons of the same sex.
This photographic project entitled Shadows in the shadows, aims to raise awareness of the condition of life
of those people who live in the shadows their "different" Love. Although the law has been passed, in daily life reality remains distorted, in most of Italy, especially in the South, society is not yet ready, where families remove their homosexual child from home because different love is not allowed because it pours shame and derision on the family, Often one underestimates the
right to love, which is inherent in the nature of every person.
