Salento, the southern region of Puglia, has been experiencing an unprecedented tourist expansion in recent years, its coasts in the summer season are literally invaded by masses of tourists from all over the world. While this phenomenon has brought economic benefits to an area that remained outside the development dynamics of the modern and postmodern era, it has however highlighted a transformation of the territory which is not without consequences on the landscape level and in particular in those places affected by intensive exploitation for tourism purposes. Finibus terrae - a term used to indicate this geographical area - investigates a geographical place, Salento, and a physical limit, where the emerged land meets the sea; where the writing of places becomes rarefied and fades as an appendix of an increasingly engulfing urbanisation. Here, often in a violent and contradictory way, we can read the signs of an egocentric and obtuse human transition, driven by the exclusive economic impulse. Indelible traces of a culture now weakened and polluted by the arid dynamics of the market. In which the vision of the marine horizon is mediated by skeletons of structures placed as placeholders of a sort of perennial subdivision. Phenomenon common to many areas of Italy with its approximately 8000 km of coastline; where there is currently a heated political debate underway for the drafting of a coastal plan, the sole objective of which is to assign the management of the coastlines to private entities who can make the most of it, taking it away from free use.
