Landscape, is nothing but a moment in a very slow movement that has been flowing for thousands and thousands of years. But above all, it is a subjective place. Each of us has a different perception of the landscape based on our life experiences.
The landscape is our heritage, our asset, and our most precious common good. It is a living place, animated by feelings, stories, tales, memories, colors, sounds. It is the soul of a community.
In the “Mediterraneo Infinito” I encapsulate the Apulian landscape.
Braudel wrote: “It is a thousand things together. It is not one landscape, but numerous landscapes. The Mediterranean is a space in movement.”
Malpica, in the book “The Garden of Italy: Puglia”, wrote: “If I were a painter, I would paint this road that looks like a long avenue of a flourishing garden, these verdant plants that the inhabitants make sprout among the rocks, the countryside and that sea where the evening ray descends peacefully.
These farmers returning from their daily toil, softly singing a cheerful song… and amidst this sweet harmony of people and things, amidst this solemn silence of nature, I would paint all those little houses that rise among the vegetation.”
