The “full flower moon” illuminated the skies around the world on Thursday 23 May with many professionals immortalizing the star, patiently waiting for the moment to take the perfect image. Among these there was also the 46-year-old from Molfetta whose shot is literally becoming popular, as has already happened several times in the recent past: he chose to immortalize the moon a few steps from the sea in Torre Calderina, a watchtower located between Molfetta and Bisceglie del ‘500.
The photograph is the only Italian one to have ended up on the pages of the BBC and National Geographic Spain. The «Flower moon» is so called according to tradition because it recalls the rebirth of nature typical of the spring season. Like most of the popular names for full moons, it derives from Native American culture and has no astronomical value: the “full flower moon” was the name that the tribes had associated with the change of season, abandoning the cold winter and preparing for the temperatures myths, symbol of rebirth.
In short, the choice of the American newspaper saw our city rewarded in a limited group of author shots.
