The camera is a powerful tool to create memory and awareness of events
During these days of lockdown I’m staying mostly at home to work on my archive. A lot of pictures I was not aware of are coming out from my hard disk. When you hold Photo Tours in Venice or workshops all over the world, you simply don’t have the time to go back to your work. Yet I also shoot sometimes, with a special permission.

The camera is a powerful tool to create memory and awareness of events, like in this case with coronavirus Covid-19. I don’t want to miss it. Venice is empty, quiet and still. No boats, no engines, no people. I guess never in the entire 1300 years of history of Venice you could have seen such a scene.
