Digisea.it: end of a story

… and beginning of a new one! After nine years, Digisea.it will not be updated any longer. Since the first web site, built with FrontPage and the 2002 bright colors, until this travel log, many things have changed, and many times, since the first works, in video only, and mostly underwater, when i w

Debts of Honor

Long time ago, in 1936, a young navy reserve officer was called at war. The war was a shameful, unjustified act of aggression against a poor African country. The officer disliked the government that had brought his country to war, but it was his country, and he had sworn to serve it. He like many ot

Shadows of Istanbul

There are cities at the center of strangely attractive forces. The fascination of feelings seemingly inspired by them is exuded by the city themselves, while hidden under a veil of images, quickly turned into cliché. Barcelona, Naples, Valparaìso, Istanbul: sea cities, historical cities, built by ar

A year ahead

And if the Christmas card has not been sent, for the first time in 12 years, it is not for lack of ideas. Facing a holiday more and more tacky and watered down, emptier and emptier, the only possible inspiration is to live an intimate Christmas, reserved to the beloved ones and personal friends, try

“Mirror in the Desert”: the Sahrawis and Sorrento

A photographer is a witness. His own opinions, and his own impressions, must be kept in the background of the facts he tells, and they must be told through his own images only. And through my images I try to tell stories about ordinary people, their traditions, ancient memories and artistic suggesti

The art of land in the Silva Gallinaria

Behind the ancient town of Cuma, along the sea and northway up to the river Volturno, an impassable forest stood on the way. The Silva Gallinaria was a holm oak trees wood, grown up for immemorable times by the seaside, that became the terror of travellers. First Greek colons avoided to enter it whe

The first ships

5000 years ago, an adventurers’ people settled on the islands of the Aegean Sea that one day would have been named Cyclades, because of their “circular” disposition. We know very little about them, and much of what we know it’s a source of mysteries. We know that they had an extraordinarily modern a

Pilar

Ilaria Patassini, known as Pilar, is beautiful. And she uses all of her talent, her intelligence and her obviously large culture to make us forget of it. In the most realistic musical tradition, the one of smoky little clubs crowded with an often careless or insensitive audience, where soon-to be fa

Aspromonte

Thinking of a mountain land, where indomitable people resisted the strongest armies in History, dotted with ruined castles and marked by thousands water lines, push imagination to countries still proud with their heritage, rich of tourism and traditions. But Calabria, the heartland of Magna Graecia,

A mad companion from a long time ago…

To meet an old friend many years later arouses mixed feelings. It is embarassing to be face to face with a person that probably remembers all too well many moments we would like to have forgotten, and at the same time it is unavoidable to mirror one self into the friend that was so close, to [...]
