Fonzaso is a small Veneto municipality located on the edge of the plain between the looming Mount Avena and the more distant Grappa massif. The municipality is an important road junction to the west of the Piave Valley, providing transit and access to the Valsugana and Primero. In July 2022, accompanied by an unexpected burst of heat, amidst the mountains, pastures and often precipitous slopes, amidst the barches that were used to harvest hay and under "Barch", according to various legends, the most beautiful love stories were consummated, I met these lilies, the inhabitants of this place, present with constant punctuality in the usual places, in a square surrounded by a bar, a hardware store and the seat of the municipality, like long-lived plants waiting to tell their tale. Like a chaotic book (à la Chatwin), which goes far beyond the conventional limits of storytelling, mixing reportage, autobiography, ethnology, essay and oral memory, I set myself the goal of not telling a story, but of searching for connections, plots, interweavings to broaden or even better colour the vision of a place unknown to my eyes. My idea stems from an attempt to "fragment a large scenario into luminous splinters", to bring to light, through the people I met, a possible but untrue personal vision of this place. "In the Land of the Wild Lilies" attempts to tell the story of the inhabitants of this place, who like these flowers, considered "protected" and not to be picked in any way, remain rooted to the flow of their lives, firmly rooted to their land and whom I have met even if only for the time of a crossing. The project is the result of an artistic residency "VOICES participatory photography" promoted by DolomitiHub in Fonzaso.
