Cristiano Zingale – Reriate

Certainly few have heard or know the history of Reriate. Reriate is a very small fraction of a town in the Milan hinterland, completely evacuated following the armistice proclamation of Badoglio on 8 September 1943. Only after a few years, people began to return again, giving life to one of the most brilliant examples, without Continue Reading

Francesco Merella – Coptic Christian Rites – Ethiopia

During one of the last trips to Ethiopia returning from Gondar to Lake Tana, after about an hour’s drive my guide, Ashennafi Demoz, proposed me to attend the Coptic baptism which, at the foot of the sacred waterfall of Addis Zemen, was practiced by some friars of the nearby convent of Toragedam. After a fairly Continue Reading

Corrada Onorifico -The infinite Silence of Mongolian steppe.

Mongolia, a country five times the size of Italy, which has about three million inhabitants, half of whom reside in the capital; the remaining part is divided between the inhabitants of small urban centers consisting of a few wooden houses and a few shops, and those who live in the endless spaces of the prairies; Continue Reading

Marco Parenti – Indian Station

When I travel I never fail to set foot in some train station. I usually take advantage of the time that other travel companions dedicate to shopping, a “pleasure” from which I gladly escape. Who knows why this passion for trains and stations, but I have it since I was a child, when taking the Continue Reading

Stefano Bianchi – Armenia

An unusual travel destination, Armenia is a beautiful country rich in history, monuments and beautiful landscapes; His people, then, are hospitable as few and ready to welcome the traveler in the simplicity of their homes, offering him a smile and a coffee if necessary. In terms of landscape, what makes Armenia recognizable are the numerous Continue Reading

Sergio Bertolotti – Gujarat

Crossing Gujarat by car is a singular and unexpected experience, You travel on a single wide road, a clear line between cultivated fields, farmers at work, shepherds with herds of cows and flocks of goats and sheep, until you reach small villages where daily gestures -beyond time- gain the scene. Deviating from the most beaten Continue Reading

Chiara Felmini – China

There are people who make trips and trips that people make: in China this can happen. Trips are made for many reasons and curiosity is always a good reason; We start with the desire to know and discover, but in the luggage sometimes slip from the drafts all those prejudices resulting from readings, stories and Continue Reading

Nicola Ducati – My Red Pamir

Traveling to remote places I realized that beauty is everywhere and is found in the diversity of people. Their uniqueness makes humanity special. This awareness and the need to preserve our roots together with our planet should guide our every gesture, our every thought, our every choice. Kyrgyz women live in the dust of high-altitude Continue Reading

Tina Salipante – Mare Fecunditatis

“I went back there,Where I had never been.Nothing, as it was not, has changed.”Giorgio Caproni Life and death appear to me as a single function that cancels itself in its beginning, almost a still movement, a failed act in the fall of time where the forms of existence transmute into silence, dissolve the contours of Continue Reading

Laura Pierangeli – The mattress maker of Bukhara

My name is Narghisa I am a mattress maker. I’ve been working in this building for so long that I call it home. Here I spend most of my day and with needle and thread I sew together remnants of fabric and remnants of life. The faded photographs on the walls tell of a distant Continue Reading
