Prosféro is a staged photography work born within the Centro di Fotografia Indipendente in Naples and resulting from a personal research on topics of anthropological interest such as memory, belonging, daily life and material culture. The project dialogues with the Puntino ad Ago, a particular lace, object of patrimonialization practices, made in the Latronico area, in Southern Italy. The work stems from the suggestion of the possible derivation of Puntino from the ancient Greek technique of weaving fishing nets, but it does not exhaust its vision in it, formulating a suspended question: what is the value of this knowledge today? At the foot of the mountains, in Basilicata, perches Latronico, the small town of my origins. I have walked along narrow streets and country roads, through the woods and houses that seem suspended in time in search of stories and artefacts. Only in that small village, in fact, does an ancient lace, the Puntino ad Ago, still survive today. Having arrived there from a distant time and place, this technique has changed in form and use, so that the weaving of nets as Greek fishermen did in ancient times has changed into the meticulous craft of lace-making. Prosféro, from the ancient Greek "to hand down", is the act of understanding and readjusting a knowledge each time to the present time. The portraits in the series are the ones of girls wearing the dresses of their ancestors' lace-makers, alternating with the scenery of the dreamlike vision of a mountain that has been able to be the guardian of the memory of the sea.
