Foto dal finestrino was a Domus column edited by Ettore Sottsass.
A collection of instant photos of worlds and realities described in an immediate and essential way.
An almost casual succession of themes and reflections on the loneliness, the traditions around the world and the traces left by humans. An ode to travel.
I have kept Sottsass’s little book since fourth grade and when I feel I have lost my center, my focus, I always go back to it, leafing through it.
During these months of pandemic, I felt distant and isolated, and I found myself looking at the world from the window. A window that has often become a video call, an Instagram story or a photo taken by someone. A way to peek into other people’s lives without really being part of it, a way to feel closer to everyone.

Foto dalla finestra is a collection of 19 drawings, 19 shots through windows, starting from Bergamo and arriving in Milan.

I collected 19 photos from the window, one per month from the time the pandemic wiped out the first Salone del Mobile in 2020 to when we were finally able to all exhibit together again in September 2021.

With each glimpse, I redesigned one of these photos from the window, simplifying reality, supplementing it with my imagination.
19 drawings of 19 photographs, made digitally and printed in very high quality on Soft Textured Natural White 315gr paper in four copies and then mounted on canvas to play even more with the Fake/Authentic topic.
