The words
As Gian Mario Ricciardicurator of the exhibition: “Three great photographers: a unique and rare flight, among over 50 shades of green. A “journey” among extraordinary skies, full of white, grey, light and then, suddenly, dark cirrus clouds. There, among the little indentations of the clouds, are hundreds of years of anxiety spent peering far beyond the shadows of the hills to see if the harvest had once again driven out the hail.”
