Summer is a state of mind. Warm, benevolent light illuminates the mind, skin and heart. Every particle in the air touches us gently and nothing seems to hurt us. The disturbances of the soul smell of sun cream. I am happy and this is my summer.

In Italy "summertime" is synonymous with "sea". And in southern Italy "ammare" is the expression used to indicate that a person intends, or is already, at sea. In the Italian language, however, "ammare" also means "to love"; therefore, the literal translation could be "love of the sea". These photos are intended to represent the love that Italians feel towards their sea. The summer holidays, especially, represent a sacred moment, in which to pour on the coasts of the peninsula and to enjoy the own moments relax wet from the own blue friend. For this reason I wanted to tell this passion through shots in which time seems to stop and in which the colors, especially of the sky and the sea, explode in a sort of pop painting.

Yellow is the color of summer with empty cities, few people, few cars, little traffic.

Summertime 2021 was like no other. Travel bans were place, fear of Covid ruled and the complicated testing regime for overseas travel had overtaken the desire to seek out distant climes. So I holidayed in Suffolk, a beautiful county in the UK that I had never visited before.
I was struck by the tranquillity of life, the large open spaces and the calmness of the farmlands as the countryside readied itself for Harvest. This set of 3 black and white images are not loud and brash, they study the gentle passing of time over 7 days in the summertime.
