The volume gathers a hundred of the most telling frames from a journey that has lasted more than thirty years and that tells, in black and white, magical moments of travel, ancient relations between nature and vision, handshakes, privileged contact with rare and courageous human beings.

It begins in 1989 on Stromboli, the fire island of the Aeolians, reached without particular historical or geographical information but carried by the enthusiasm of visionary friends who had already tasted the spell of the place.
