Description

...That day I walked aimlessly up and down the alleys of the Catanese Baroque.
Everything seemed to me a unique revelation. For the first time, that day, in the mystical silence of a sirocco dawn, I realized how history and time had deposited, in those places, the singing, the words and the magic of a time far away. I could hear the stories of white horses and carriages coming out fast from those immense gates of aristocratic palaces... Immense dragon mouths, open on courtyards and arches that separated a bed of geraniums, tapestries of bougainvillea and wisteria of the Noble Courtyard, from the courtyard of servitude, where you could see, once, the stables and grooms.
I could hear the shrill voices of the past coming up from the cracks in the apparently tired walls. Immense white marble staircases climbed up to the sky, reflecting the first rays of sunrise at 29 degrees.
Everything was immensely surreal for me.
Immense buildings steeped in history. Erected with thousands of blocks of lava stone of a mother Etna who had wounded them so many times. The sweat of 18th century men still dampened the red earth plasters.
I was there, in front of the door of the oldest palace of the 18th century, with an ice cream in my hand.
My ice cream fell on a shoe, while I was trying to open the door curious to see inside the courtyard. I did to clean myself when an old lady with a faint voice told me, do you want to see the old stable? Do you want to rent it?
It only took me two minutes to fall in love. That old stable became my photographic studio for ten years...
Via Crociferi, historical center of Catania and heart of Baroque architecture in Sicily.
