"Pomarium" translated from Latin, means orchard. The history of the cultivation of fruit trees has been intertwined for centuries with that of man and the forms of his living. In the biblical tradition, the orchard is an enclosed garden. Xenophon defines the great orchards created in Persia by Cyrus the Great as "full of all the good and beautiful things that the earth can produce". The orchard-garden becomes parádeisos ("paradise"). These fruit trees remained protagonists of the Mediterranean landscape even when with the agrarian revolution of the 19th century they left the enclosed gardens to occupy the plains, hills, terraces, and mountainsides; for centuries they were considered an integral and indispensable part of a family economy and a means of social distinction. "Cultivating land can be considered a liberal art, a kind of poetry and painting" (William Wordsworth). Working the land is a poem, one composes lines and syllables, one creates stanzas to make the fruits of this art grow in harmony. The earth must be touched, it contains a craft that brings with it an ancient vocation. A work of the past, evolved over the years, transformed slowly. This project tells the story of my family, which mixes rural and industrial life, as happened in many places in Veneto (Italy) in the early 1970s. Through wider historical research, I came to rummage through the boxes of my grandparents' house, now uninhabited, where I found old family photos documenting the development of the family-run industry and the adaptation of daily life and the house to it. The production of nets for agriculture brought the whole family to help the growth of that small business. The house was enlarged, adding a shed where to place the first looms and to start making anti-hail nets. The garden was modified and to the already existing wheat field was added first a vegetable garden where to test the nets and then a small orchard of four rows and a few varieties of plants, also to study the functioning of the material produced and, consequently, to improve it. I have collected photos taken by my grandfather and uncle, to which I have made changes that want to represent this adaptation, this change that deeply marked my family, which still works in this company. The nets, still produced today, were also scanned and cut out by me. The photos are, therefore, poetically reinterpreted through the use of the engine that transformed a peasant family and led it to push and risk in the world of industry: the agricultural nets. The nets act as protection, serving to cover and prevent the trees and fruit from being damaged by the weather. The same reasoning is applied in this elaboration. These photos from the past represent part of the people dearest to me. In this sense, they need to be protected, but at the same time shown. They should be covered, but to bring out in an even more powerful way what is behind them, what they represent beyond their formal meaning. Hide to show and tell.
