ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The beauty of this image is given by chance, the event I witnessed was bigger and more beautiful than I could have imagined. I usually return to Sicily, and since I started traveling by ship, the photographer in me decided that I could carry out a project on these ship trips lasting about 20 hours, in which atypical social dynamics developed respect the mainland, all seasoned with the fact that even pets can travel by ship, making a shake of all the ingredients and clicks, the difficulty was being invisible. In particular, before I left for this crossing by sea from North to South, a friend had warned me of the beginning of the demolition of the old grain silos at the port of Palermo, I could not imagine that the ship had docked next door and would have brought me so close to have a sublime spectacle of beauty and destruction at the same time. Excited, I ran up and down the bridge trying to get the best perspective and light. In the right place at the exact moment, so much so that the ship in front bears the happy name of "Costa Fascinosa", perfectly contradicting I chose it as the title of the photo, so the project on board the ships was never finished and published, but this photo forces me to pull something out of the drawer ...

AUTHOR
I was born in Palermo in 1974. After completing my architectural studies, I leave Sicily to broaden my experiential horizons, first in Spain, then in Italy. I start my artistic activity by approaching music and photography. Two passions that will lead me to get to know various social and cultural realities. I think that my way of photographing could be defined as a narration in the narration, my shots are sometimes lightning fast and capture moments of life that are told in the image.The daily use of the camera and films inevitably leads me to enter the dark room, where I learn the techniques of developing and printing in black and white. I settle in Turin in 2012 where I built a darkroom and I join the Eikon photographic association that deals with photographic reports.
