A Spasso Con Holga - Landscape - Limited Edition 1 of 15 Photograph

I love to photograph the Po. You would say that it’s a sad place, but I like it a lot because it reminds me of a kind of poverty that is subtraction which gives a peace.Subtraction of colors, sounds, makes me think of Ermanno Olmi, Bernardo Bertolucci and the dignityof a tough life along the river, which can also be frightening.But that afternoon the Po was very calm.The sun finally came out, so I went to Guastalla, in the southern Reggiana aerea.Along the bank there was almost no one.You couldn’t hear a voice.A few people walking silently and some kids playng the was a perfect soundtrack and even the highway in the distance wasn’t disturbing.I played with the horizon, with the landscape’s few elements and with the light.There was something romantic, harmonius, that makes you recall beautiful things.
