Desertification as metaphor
Analysis of abandoned Italian villages which lose identity;
Analysis of new cities of the earth not inhabited yet, with no identity.
In Italy there are about 6,000 ghost towns. Identity and history that go getting lost - forgot.
New places without identity - lacking reality.
In recent years in different parts of the world we were built thousands of homes, buildings and streets which are then remained completely deserted.

“La desertificazione porta nella nostra mente immagini di luoghi
che erano in passato zone abitate dal uomo, aree coltivate che ora
hanno solo il vento incessante carico di sabbia e terra bruciata dal sole.”
