Comitiva
“Comitiva” is an Italian term that refers to a group of young friends with a close bond of friendship. I met this group of young people along the shores of a small town in southern Italy in the summer of 2020 by chance. We spent a few afternoons together where I captured their daily rituals along the rocky beaches that characterize the landscape of their sea. With this series, I tell the intimate dynamics of a group of friends and their desire to live and be together. Framing the beauty of their youth, they appear to me as timeless bronze statues, and I try to relive the lightheartedness of an Italian summer.
