“An impossible story which has the merit of being true”
(Paolo Mauri - La Repubblica)
The Mediterranean has always been a sea that, rather
than dividing people, has brought them closer. It has been a bridge between
nations of different religions, cultures and languages, inviting – and
sometimes forcing – them to interact, for better or worse but always, at the
end, getting them to know each other.
The stage of thousands of years of history, which, in
an era in which the South of the World is becoming more and more fluid,
changing and itself cause of changes, opens up to a future marked by quick and
deep transformations.
Pictures which try to tell, with a style far from most
current ones, the multicultural heart of a such a special area.Images which are
all together necessary, like the single tiles of a mosaic, to the total
composition; images which capture the essence, the soul free from divisions
stemming from political, ethnical and religious categorizations which links,
like an invisible underground web, the Mediterranean People.
