through family photographs, from 1975/76, I try to build a training and education received in the historical, social and environmental impact of my childhood (in order to throw it all away, to remove certain clichés ). Starting from the first the home, through photographs, objects, environment, and looking out gradually outside the habitat daily with its customs, with its many signs of a story and a past culture, and continuity "branched", but consistently, in a line of thought, with its possible and (apparently) inevitable developments , I also recall the figure of a good photographer (Emilio D'Amato ). The classic photographer, who like the Fratelli Alinari, in its small, has documented more than half a century of local life in the Town / Country Land and its surroundings. A photographer who has documented, among the other, hundreds of funerals, including the following two that affected my affective and intimate family: my grandfather's funeral in 1957 (when I was 10 years old) and my uncle, my father's brother, in 1941 (six years before I was born), apart from other works presented on this page.
