Around Italy

  • Photographer
    Gabriele Marcarini, Italy
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

The aim was to enshrine, in a series of pictures, the spirit of countryside Italy, less known to most. Wandering around the “Bel Paese” of Dante and Petrarch, I came across glances, details, emotions to be framed in time and space, to be imprinted forever and donated to future generations. Italian roads are pervaded by antiquity and Medieval remnants. They witnessed the passage of time, and like oyster shells, they enclose and protect the pearl of past beauty. We travel them today and still marvel at every wonder the Mediterranean peninsula can give us.
