Italian Collection

I have dual citizenship, I am Italian-Brazilian.  After getting an Italian passport in 2019, I decided to take a trip to Italy in search of my Italian roots.  Italy is a very photographed place and full of imagery clichés, the country is a kind of postcard, a place full of ready-made photos.  Photographing the beauty of what is already naturally beautiful is falling into the obvious.  I wanted to portray my emotional reactions to what I saw and experienced.  These images are like a diary of my existential journey on Italian soil.
