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

Alvise Crovato – travelling with Mene

Meneghino is a man of the eighteenth century, even if he has gone through the centuries. Traveling with him was important and beautiful, it gave me the opportunity to really question myself on the relationship between the various eras and the different traditions. My friend Valerio, on the other hand, is a contemporary man, and Continue Reading

Andrea Peruzzi – Waiting for Dalai Lama

This story is not a photographic project designed at the table, but it represents what I like most.. that is traveling and documenting real situations and the people I meet, in a spontaneous way. Last summer I rented a motorbike and traveled through the valleys and villages of the Indian Himalayan region of Ladakh. By Continue Reading

Hamzeh Mohammad Hosseini – Being with Iranian Armenians

Every year, after the first month of summer, countless Armenians from all over the world are eager to travel to the first cathedral of the Christian world to participate in the religious ceremony that coincides with the murder of Saint Thaddeus and martyrdom of his Christian followers. This church is located 20 kilometers northeast of Continue Reading

Roberto Malagoli – Mauritania

Memories make noise: sounds, voices of travelers, children’s laughter, winds, which in the desert are breathed (or amalgamated with) with the sand and on the coasts become pleasant breezes. The mobile gaze wants to immortalize everything: slightly jagged horizons, bushes of tiring green, soft dunes that divide the space with the liquid blue, devoured by Continue Reading

Roberta Vitali – desert is magic

On the fly to Tunisia I had only one desire: to go beyond what I had already seen and stop taking normal photos of beautiful places, to start taking beautiful photos of normal places. But immediately I ran into a difficulty. What was really normal in a world so far away and so different from 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

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

Mauro Brienza – Kyrgyzstan

A pristine landscape accessible only in the warmer months, asleep under meters of snow for the rest of the year. Life in the steppe flows slowly; A hard existence, unchanged for centuries, of men and animals together. Here the nomads open the doors of their yurts and welcome the traveler who is passing through these Continue Reading

Nicola Ducati – Steel Life

We are in northern India. The Pakistani border overlooking the Arabian Sea. Entering these factories is not easy, through some people well integrated into the social context, friends of friends who get us a permit to visit these huge sheds with frightening heat. We are embraced by fields of still smoking steel, deafening noises and Continue Reading
