Foibe & Exodus

This project represents a tribute to the memory of the victims of the “Foibe” and of the Exodus from Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia of hundreds of thousands of Italians, who were forced to leave their land, their homes and their property, at the end of the Second World War. I am profoundly sensitive to these dramatic events, that demands to be remembered in its correct historical perspective, whilst they did not get the not receive the due attention in the past. In this series I tried to render, by using different technical approaches, palette and compositions, a feeling of pain, anxiety and resignation, which generates a surreal and metaphysical atmosphere.
