​​ELEGIA LODIGIANA

​
​Elegia Lodigiana is a project, born out of the collaboration between the Ethical Photography Festival and the Province of Lodi, financed through the Photography Strategy 2022 call for proposals promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.

"This work is the result of meticulous research in - and of - the reality of Lodi, by someone who has taken the time to enter, on tiptoe, into the lives and stories of those who populate this space and who, generation after generation, have strengthened their bond with this land, and who gives us a fresco permeated by a clear light, precise yet suspended, in a continuous cross-reference between past, present and future.

The decision to propose a photographic investigation is significant not only for the anthropological characteristics of this area, but also for the water crisis that hit northern Italy in 2022, with dramatic consequences on the economic and social fabric. Generation after generation, water has represented a resource that has enabled the sustenance and development of an area among the most productive and fertile in Europe."
