115 anni fa nasceva Ernst Hemingway.

Ho letto quasi tutto quello che ha scritto, ma “The Old Man and The Sea” rimane un libro che continuo a scorrere, talvolta per poche pagine, imparate quasi a memoria. Pochi però ricordano che fu Life a pubblicare il racconto per la prima volta, il 1 Settembre 1952: in due giorni furono vendute 5 milioni di copie del magazine.

The camera has never been an accessory; it has been a constant companion, a way of observing, remembering, and making sense of the places and people I encountered along the way. I started keeping this kind of journal some time ago, not as a diary in the traditional sense, but as a space where images and words could meet. This is not a publication driven by schedules or algorithms. At times I disappear for long stretches; then, inevitably, I return with semi-regular updates. Publishing, for me, is a mirror of my state of mind and emotions. It follows my rhythm, not the other way around. You have to take it exactly as it comes. Every photograph you see here is mine. They are fragments of a life spent moving, looking, and waiting for moments to reveal themselves — often quietly, sometimes unexpectedly. This blog is not about destinations, but about presence. About what remains when the journey slows down and the shutter finally clicks.
