Publisher Note english italian
The photographic works proposed in this volume tell about two different journeys made in similar places, marble quarries, but geographically distant: to the north, in Valtellina, Valmalenco and Valmasino, documented by the Roman photographer Marco Anelli; and to the south, in Sicily, photographed by the Swiss Stefania Beretta.
Quarries are singular and fascinating places at the same time: stopping to admire these shots, strictly in black and white, one is enraptured by the lively and palpitating images, offered with aesthetic sense and great technical mastery, of these harsh, solemn, and silent landscapes, like immense cathedrals where the only protagonist is stone.
The images are accompanied by two introductory texts by and Giovanna Calvenzi, followed by an intervention by Paolo Giansiracusa dedicated to the history of stone cutting in Sicily, and one by Antonio Boscacci, focused on the poplars and granite of the pre-alpine valleys.
