    Pantelleria, il vento tra viti e dammusi. Ci sono vecchi, in quest’isola, che al mare non ci sono mai andati. L’hanno visto dalla campagna, una campagna battuta dal vento che spira 337 giorni all’anno, con gli ulivi potati fino a radere il suolo, con le piante di capperi striscianti sui muri a secco, con i pochi alberi di agrumi difesi da costruzioni cilindriche di pietra, come tesori preziosi. Bent-al-Ryon, figlia del vento, la chiamavano gli arabi, quest’isola che è una sfida costante per chi c’è nato, il terreno di incontro e di scontro fra l’uomo e la natura. Poca acqua, tanto che la pioggia è raccolta da sempre in cisterne sotterranee. Coltivazioni ardue, che si inerpicano sui terrazzamenti, che strappano metro a metro dalle colline a strapiombo sul mare, che danno frutti prodigiosi e dolci, come il re dei vini di qui, il passito. Case tradizionali – si chiamano dammusi - come piccoli affascinanti bunker, costruite un tempo dai contadini spietrando i terreni, e adesso ambite abitazioni per turisti che d’estate si ritirano in questi 83 chilometri quadrati più vicini all’Africa che alla Sicilia.
    Non è un’isola per palati facili, Pantelleria, ma se la ami è per sempre.

    “Free your mind and seize the moment”. The extension of your thought is right there in front of you, in the sight of your camera… take a look around you, let yourself go and open yourself to new experiences, lights, colors, places, perfumes, sensations. Capture first inside you and then on the film the picture in front of you as if it's the last possible. I was born in Perugia (Italy) in 1954, studied technical-scientific matters and made work experiences in the industry field. I’m passionate of photography and love traveling choosing destinations and courses I take to reach them. I overgrow pictorial, graphical and informatics interests; I’ve matured helpful experiences in the photographic field by an advertising studio and have exhibited my works in some photographic exhibition. I try to translate in reality an image creates in mind, to seize what I think and see trying to make fleeting the limit between photography and picture, pictured subject and the evocation of a feeling.
