“It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realized what’s changed is you.”-F. Scott Fitzgerald.
2020.. what a crazy year has been! The year of Covid-19 in which we were all forced to remain stuck in our homes, paradoxically was the year in which I spent the most time away from home, first in Canada and then in Bolzano. And the further I got away, the more my home began to miss. I begin to realize how lucky I was to live in these lands, prosperous territories, rich in natural elements such as lakes, rivers and mountains. That’s why I decided to start exploring and living every little detail, scent and physical contact with my land, or rather, the perimeter of land that I call “Home”.

A story through photographs, dialects, proverbs and typical features of my native land, Brianza. A  geographical, historical and cultural area of Italy, at the foot of the Alps, in the North-West of Lombardy, between Milan and Lake Como.
