Maremma notes

Maremma Notes is an ongoing photographic project that emerges from a long-term engagement with the territory of the Maremma. Here the landscape appears as a surface traversed by time, where nature, history, and human presence overlap in a slow and layered fabric. The plains, wetlands, and forests still retain a wide and almost primordial dimension. Within these spaces, the relationship between people and horses continues to be an integral part of everyday life; the traces left on the ground become signs of an ancient practice that still shapes the way this territory is inhabited. At the same time, this place holds a much more distant memory. The widespread presence of Etruscan sites introduces an archaeological dimension that quietly emerges within the landscape, as if the past occasionally surfaced from the earth itself. In this project I try to remain within these stratifications without attempting to construct a linear narrative. Rather, I am interested in creating a sensory map in which visual fragments record encounters, atmospheres, and traces, building a sensitive interpretation of the territory where the visible and the invisible coexist. Through the rhythm of nature, gestures, and presences, the work explores the continuity between past and present and the way the landscape becomes a place of memory, where time does not disappear but slowly settles.
