Fossa Felci, the highest point of Filicudi, one of the Eolian Islands, 775 meters. From the top is possible to observe all the others six islands but only Alicudi is lonely, between marine currents, separate from the others. The more extreme, without streets, only muletrack. Are years that i observe Alicudi from FIlicudi, but only the day i took this shoot, i saw it(or her?) in a timeless atmosphere

The Nape it's a part of the body, that normally we don't look at. To improve it we don't spent time or money but between the air and the neck, there is something that idenfity ourself. Try to observe the nape of an old man that worked for years the soil or passed most of his time on the sea: it can looks like a river, a tutle or a crocodile skin.
If you observe a nape, you will imagine a face. That is what i did in Filicudi, one of the eolian island, where i decided to live. During the year there are only 200 inhabitants. their Nape (and faces) have wind, sun, sea and voulcanic energy signs that is coming continuously from this "Paradisland" as a 65 years old german man, Gilsbert that is living here in a cave, define. i need time to take a picture of a Nape: time to know the person, to interact with him or her. This is the timeless island

Filicudi - People and objects are shuffled on the island, sometimes it seams that the people are the incarnation of the objects. Two sides, one person, the statue dedicated to the sailormar. While i was observing the statue, appears the sailorman coming from another time and putting together the three elements was natural
