Puglia landscape

​​

This page is dedicated to the landscapes of my homeland - Puglia - a place of light, ancient roots, and breathtaking natural beauty.

After many years away, returning has been both a joyful and complex experience.

At times, I feel like a stranger in the place where I was born, as if time and distance have changed my connection to this unique land.

Through photographs of olive groves, golden fields, arid earth, endless skies, the Mediterranean Sea, and charming small villages, I seek to reconnect deeply with the essence of the local culture and environment. Each image captures a fragment of my personal journey home, reflecting the strong bond between identity, memory, and belonging.

 

This collection goes beyond physical beauty, exploring an emotional landscape shaped by heritage, roots, and memories.

It invites viewers to pause, observe, and listen to the silent stories held by nature and the land.

Even when I feel distant, this land remains an indelible part of me - part of my roots, of who I am, an endless source of inspiration, grounding, and deep connection. These images tell a story of beauty, complexity, and the emotional ties we share with our roots and the place we call home.
