Vesuvius, July 11th 2017

A project about the fires in the National park of Vesuvius, where I lived for twenty-five years.

In July 2017, the National park of Vesuvius was destroyed by numerous fires.
More than 2700 hectares of pine forests were lost, 50 millions bees died.
I grew up with my family in those pine forests for twenty five years, the Vesuvius was a presence for me. When I left my family home it became landscape.
When Vesuvius began to burn it stopped being landscape and it awakened as an interior presence within me. The day after I decided to go to help firemen to stop the fires. When fires were extinguished I began to take pictures, it was my way to take care of Vesuvius and me.
Vesuvio, 11 luglio 2017 is an on going project.
