The Salento region becomes the pretext for exploring the landscapes and contexts identified, in a journey that articulates memory and present, history and myth, archaeology and architecture. From a dimension of memory—at times dreamlike—we are led to the current state of a landscape revealed and captured in fragments and details, in the atmospheres that permeate it.
There is no risk of falling into cliché or portraying a stereotypical image of a place and its traditions. Rather, "we are offered a key to accessing universes, which materialize in representations of those characteristics considered unique and worthy of attention.
A new perspective from which to begin again, a new challenge of vision and thought, toward which we must continue to strive."
