Woman in black.

“The medina of Tozeur, located in the old quarter of Ouled el Hadef, is one of the best preserved in Tunisia and, more generally, in all of North Africa. The walls of the houses exploit the exposed bricks to create geometric bas-relief designs, very similar to those of the carpets. Of Berber origin, Tozeur is an important cultural and religious center - it is the main seat of several Islamic brotherhoods - which rises on the edge of the Sahara desert, in an oasis of more than 1,000 hectares of palm trees. I was in this city in August, with unbearable heat, and I was able to walk around the medina during the day, finding it completely deserted, to see it revive in the evening, just before sunset, when the temperature drops and people go out to get together late into the night”.

Star Wars.

“Before George Lucas put Ksar Ouled Soltane on the tourist map of North Africa - it was one of the locations in the movie Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - these windswept buildings stood in relative isolation, very near to the borders of the Sahara desert. This fortified granary located on top of a dry, arid and sandy hill was built by the Berber people of these areas in the 15th century.
Rounded, protected structures built completely of cracked, dry mud face the center of the castle-like granary, while steep outdoor staircases give to this place the appearance of another world entirely, especially at sunset when the ocher tones of the walls are enhanced by the rays of the last desert sun”.

Golden.

“The south of Tunisia is little known and very different from the northern part of the country. Berber culture and influence are predominant in the population, closer to the desert than to the Mediterranean Sea.
Douirette is a Berber troglodyte village dating back to the sixteenth century, located on the top of a hill in a desert area of the governorate of Tataouine, formed by small houses called ghiren, carved into the rock. Numerous houses, part of the city wall and the ruins of the fortress - called kalâa, on the top of the complex - are still visible, but no sign of Luke Skywalker”.

Lighthouse.

“Les Éclaireurs lighthouse is a slightly conically shaped lighthouse standing on the northeasternmost of the five Les Éclaireurs islands - which it takes its name from - five nautical miles east of Ushuaia in the Beagle Channel. Built in 1920 to facilitate the entry of ships into the dangerous sea tongue of the Beagle Channel, it is still in operation, even if uninhabited and remotely controlled.
The islet is inhabited by cormorants and other bird species, as well as a colony of sea lions.
The lighthouse is often confused with the San Juan de Salvamento lighthouse on the east coast of the remote Isla de los Estados, made famous by Jules Verne in the novel The Lighthouse at the End of the World, which is actually much further east”.

Turquoise glaze.

“Perito Moreno Glacier is neither the largest nor the highest - it is approximately 240 meters above sea level - or the most iconic in the world. In the Los Glaciares National Park, where it is located, there are other important glaciers such as the Spigazzini and the Upsala. However, in my opinion it’s the most striking: the ice walls of which it is formed change color, passing from blue, to white and turquoise according to the intensity of the light. The ice creaks continuously, producing noises as fascinating as they are sinister, and not infrequently huge pieces fall from the top, diving into the water in a very scenographic way.
Squeezed between the Andes and Lake Argentino, it represents one of the most incredible natural attractions in Patagonia.

One end.

“Located at the eastern end of the Estrecho de Magallanes, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific, Cabo Vírgenes is the southernmost point of continental America. On this promontory, reachable through 120 kilometers of horrible track from Río Gallegos and continuously exposed to very strong winds, there are a lighthouse, an oceanographic research station, the “Km 0” of Ruta 40 - the most famous and iconic road in Argentina - and a "pinguinera", a migration and nesting point for a colony of friendly Magellanic penguins. It has been a great idea to take a day on our journey to reach Cape Horn to make a detour to this place. Nobody around, just nature, penguins and the ocean”.

Fisherman.

“El Aaiún and Dakhla are the only "big" centers of Western Sahara. Built in a completely desert area close to the Atlantic coast, El Aaiún is a rather modern city that looks like a cathedral in the desert. Completely controlled by the Moroccan government, it has a strategic importance for the control of this portion of the Atlantic Ocean, one of the most fish-rich areas in the world.

“Al-Qarawiyyin University is the oldest university in the world. Located in Fes el-Bali, the medina of the city, it was founded in 859 as a mosque and madrasa - a Koranic school - and became one of the main spiritual and educational centers of the Muslim world. It is considered the "oldest continuously existing institution of higher education in the world" by the Guinness Book of Records”.

Just don't care about the Wonder.

"Located in Agra, the former capital of the Mughal Empire, the Taj Mahal is the most famous monument in India. Inserted on the list of the Seven wonders of the world, this extraordinary example of symmetry and perfection clearly reflects the style of the classical Mughal architecture. When I first saw it, I was disappointed that one of the minarets was being restored. In any case, this fact gave me the opportunity to catch a quite unique photo".

Humans of India n°3

"Every day about 250/300 people are burned in the Manikarnika Ghat, the main burning ghat in Varanasi, one of the oldest cities in the world. The bodies are placed on pyres, which are then set on fire and left to burn for about 3 hours. The ashes are then entrusted to the currents of the Ganges river. In this way, the deceased can break Samsara - the cycle of birth and death - and finally reach Nirvana. I walked into Manikarnika Ghat for a few minutes but, in addition to the acrid smell of burnt flesh, I clearly felt the feeling of not being liked there. That was no place for me and my camera. With respect for the sacredness of the place and for what was being consumed there, I decided to go back. On the main road I met this charismatic Yogi. The fingers of his right hand form the Jnanamudrā, the mudra symbol of knowledge and the union between the individual self and the universal spirit, man and divine”.

Humans of India n°2

"Jaisalmer is a small city in the deep west of Rajasthan, near the border with Pakistan, resting on the stretch of sand of the great Thar desert. Nicknamed "Golden City", its streets and buildings take on a brown color during the day, which dissolves towards the honey-gold at sunset, making it one with the colors of the desert. Once an important hub along the Indian portion of the Silk Road, it still maintains the disturbing charm of the frontier city. I really liked the golden turban worn by this gentleman I met on the way up to Sonar Quila, the fort overlooking the city. It matched perfectly with the surrounding colors”.

Humans of India n°1

“Ganesh Chaturthi is a religious festival held throughout India between the months of August and September, to celebrate the birth of Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati. Numerous are the pilgrims who set out to reach the temples dedicated to the divinity, one of the most beloved in India, the Lord of good luck and the one who gives luck and prosperity. I took this photo of a nice old woman on the way from Ranakpur to Udaipur. Despite her age, she was traveling on foot, completely alone, to reach a temple located in Ajmer, many kilometers north”.

Desert n°3

"This photo cost me almost a whole day stuck in the desert sands of Tunisia, near the Libyan border, south of the Chott-el-Jerid region. The 4X4 on which we were traveling got silted up while climbing a dune, forcing my driver and me to an unexpected stop in the middle of nowhere on the way to some small oasis. After 18 hours of trying, we were able to leave, finding help at a Berber village to stock up on food and water. Nice adventure, I've got to say".

Desert n°2

"The portion of the Kyzylkum desert found in the Republic of Karakalpakstan is, by far, one of the ugliest deserts I’ve ever seen. Not far from the cities of Khiva and Nukus, in the middle of a wasteland of stones and scrub, there are the ruins of Ayaz-Kala, one of the fortresses of ancient Khorezm. Around the archaeological site, some bactrian camels seem happy to be photographed while resting and grazing the few herbs that grow in these arid areas".

Desert n°1

"Western Sahara is a state that does not exist. Occupied by Morocco and Mauritania since 1975, after the Spanish left the territory, it became a Moroccan colony four years later. Its original people, the Saharawis, live in exile in the refugee camps of Algeria and have been fighting for 40 years to regain possession of their lands. The territory of Western Sahara is completely desert, the roads run like snakes in the middle of the dunes. Paying attention to the checkpoints of the suspicious Moroccan police, it is possible to move independently in what remains one of the most misterious and beautiful deserts in North Africa".

"Wadi Musa is the gate to Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world. Despite being a place heavily contaminated by mass tourism, it is still possible to find ancient traditions inside. There are for example numerous "Rababa" players, a bowed instrument vaguely reminiscent of a violin, very popular in the countries of the Near East and Middle East".

Faith. Remastered.

"During my trip in Uzbekistan along the Silk Road, I was fascinated by the way in which Islam - the original religion of the countries of Central Asia prior to the advent of the Bolshevik regime - regained its living space after the fall of the Soviet bloc. I took this photo on a lazy afternoon in the Kok-Gumbaz mosque, built in 1437 by Ulugh Beg, who also ordered one of the three madrassas that form the Registan, the main square of Samarkand, to be built. The entire historic center of Shahrisabz, Tamerlane's birthplace, is a stunning UNESCO heritage site”.
