Italian / English text
20000km is a long-term documentary photography project that highlights the development and evolution of the country's roads; it recounts our territory and the conservation of the landscape. It is a journey along the roads of yesterday and today: a neorealist study, a cultural odyssey through the natural heritage. It is also a reflection on the theme of travel, a poetic and evocative work made of suggestive images. The project was carried out through analogue photographs using different cameras. The author wants to convey the complexity of the ever-evolving landscape. The ancient Roman roads merge with the new landscape of newly conceived roads.
