SENTIERI ~ PATHS | 2014~2016

“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that is not fish they are after.”

(– Henry David Thoureau)

"Sentieri ~ Paths " is part of the ongling project Of Hunting and Nature started in 2014 and still in progress.

The original diary was made by the photographer during three years of researches “on the ground” (2014/2016) though the Italian’s woods of the Apennine Mountains (Ligury and Tuscany).
During this time the author decided to write a personal diary as a report.
So after each excursion he started to draw the maps of the paths walked, adding notes, data and informations about flora and fauna.
The book was born from the idea of mixing the original material coming from the diary with the material realized and collected during the same period: pictures, finds, videos and watercolors.

“When I look at Nature I always feel like I’m looking at something magic, mysterious, perfect. Day after day, season after season, year after year, she will be still there: standing, magnificent. Standing as beautiful as she always has and as she always will, in a certain way: superior. The time in our lives, it does not matter, for we are just passing through here. But not her. She is just standing, watching us passing by for a moment and then leaving.
