When I was 16, I decided with some friends to take part in a pilgrimage, on the trail of Francesco d'Assisi. Now my religious beliefs are extremely confusing, however, sometimes, when my heart is restless and my mind is tired, special memories brought me back to that place. When I read your call I decided to repete part of the same walk, to figure out what had changed during these years. I didn’t find Chiara, that now rests in peace; I didn’t find the same cute hotel, now closed and forgot but I found the same warm light, the same massive and wet rocks, the same comforting nature surrounding me. My photographic research wants to explore two sacred places that still resist in all their pure beauty and loneliness, while everything around them changes too fast. These images were taken in Tuscany at Santuario della Verna and Eremo di Cerbaiolo.
