Italianità

Ciao caro... un cappuccino per favore... The tone of the language elevates Italy to Bella Italia. But it's not just the language. There are a thousand little things: The tinkling of church bells, for example, or the way the horns blare, in nearby Venice as well as in Rome, Naples and Amalfi. In a similar way, the camera can capture visual stereotypes, skirting the clichés by a hair's breadth and recognising what we have in common in details that make us marvel and smile at what does not exist north of the Alps. A touch of dolce vita, with a slight wistfulness about the missed opportunity of not having been born in Italy. - Italianità can almost only be contemplated so quietly and from so close by with the help of photos.
