“The more Leonia expels goods, the more it accumulates them.”

I’m so happy to share the beautiful article that
@lorea.ll and
@bartolomeo_sala wrote about this project that I shot in Albergheria, Sicily.
You can find the full article in the link in bio on
@italysegreta website, and here is a little extract:
