Carmine Romano
A stolen kiss on the streets of Naples. Photographer Carmine Romano crystallises scenes of everyday life in his beloved hometown. Naples is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him, and the main subject of his photographic research. With his unmistakable mix of reportage and fashion photography, Romano collects fragments of the fantasy world in which he’d like to live—a new reality in which people can feel free to express themselves.
Marzio Emilio Villa
Marzio Emilio Villa is a Black-indigenous artist born in Brazil and currently based in Milan, whose research focuses on social inequality. The photo above was taken on October 3 in Lampedusa, at the Isola dei Conigli nature reserve. The day marks the anniversary when 368 migrants lost their lives in 2013 after their boat, coming from Libya, wrecked. Sometimes places of majestic beauty turn into unwitting witnesses of senseless loss.
Bea De Giacomo
The gaze of Lombardy photographer Bea De Giacomo holds a kind of softness within itself: it illuminates subjects delicately, pulling out their essence. The same goes for the inanimate protagonists of her images, such as Scarzuola—the “ideal city” built by Tomaso Buzzi in 1956 in Umbria’s Terni province. Conceived as a “theatrical machine,” Scarzuola is a mysterious and fascinating place, the fruit of its creator’s surreal vision. The photo was taken in 2020 while reporting for the journal Sali e Tabacchi.
