This project began a few years ago when I came across a few fishing huts along the Romagna Riviera and began taking pictures of them instinctively. Over time, my interest in these structures deepened, and I started researching their locations throughout the area, eventually photographing them in a more systematic way. It is believed that there are more than 500 fishing huts in total (known in Italy as bilancioni, padelloni, or trabocchi), though the exact number is unknown. These huts originated in the 19th century as fishermen’s shelters built with reeds and wood, but over time they evolved into more comfortable places for leisure. Concentrated primarily in the areas around the city of Ravenna, they stand as evocative structures, often built with whatever materials were available. Their varied and sometimes whimsical forms seem to transcend time, existing in their own dimension—far from modernity and industrialization. More than simple utilitarian constructions, they tell the story of a popular culture made up of repeated gestures and passing seasons, where families hand down their passion for fishing and for a life lived in close contact with the water. They stand as witnesses to an intimate relationship between humans and the landscape, now increasingly threatened by climate change and recurring flooding, while also embodying a slow and quiet way of life governed by the rhythm of the tides.
