Tales from an Italian Photographer in the North

Afterword by Hans Strand.

"Sweden has become a sanctuary for Europeans looking for wild nature. Vitantonio is a great example of that. He came to Sweden and discovered the taste for the wilderness of the high north. He brought his Italian sensitivity for subtleties like an Italian chef, making this fantastic book from the ingredients he likes: wildlife and wild landscapes."

From the afterword by Hans Strand.

"Sverige har blivit en fristad för sydeuropéer som söker den vilda naturen. Vitantonio är ett bra exempel på detta. Han kom till Sverige och fick smak för vildmarken i vår höga nord. Han använder i denna fantastiska bok sin italienska känslighet för nyansskillnader, som en italiensk kock, med de ingredienser som han älskar: vilda djur och vilda landskap."

Från efterord av Hans Strand.

The book

My new book is the first for the newborn series “iMaxi-Fotodiari Verdi” (Big Green Photo Diaries) by Pubblinova Edizioni Negri, a series which aims to house, to say it with the publisher's words, "photographic diaries from travels, a photo period, individual nature events, or diaries from a whole existence spent in touch with nature".

Structure

The book is splitted in 16 Stories, each composed by an introductory text and a variable amount of images, for a total of 216 pages and 182 photographs, mostly in large size; through them I try to tell by images some stories from my Swedish experience, to witness suggestions of a place or a special moment, to recall encounters with wildlife and everything that makes "diary." Each Story is separated from the next by a Fragment, a double page dedicated to a single indipendent picture which witnesses of a spot, a creature or a feeling that do not find place in any of the Stories.

Särna, but not only

Many images from The Chronicles of Särna have obviously their place in the book, and finally the right viewing size in a suitable setting; nevertheless the last two years of my life as a Swedish adoptive are just a part of the publication contents. I traveled for ten years, before, in this wonderful country, collecting material and emotions, and those experiences that fascinated me enough to make me finally decide to move. 

The book cross therefore a dozen years of "my Sweden".
