mare sicilia

I love places that speak of culture, history, and archaeology, because I recognize the thread that connects past and present. I don’t experience them as a simple spectator, but as someone who feels the responsibility to remember and to help others remember. Deep down, this is who I am: a person who does not simply live in a place, but interprets it, feels it, defends it, and loves it deeply. And through this love, I am able to give meaning not only to places, but also to time and memory.
