"Playgrounds" is a new series dedicated to the urban study of the Italian urban landscape, starting from my city Como and extending slowly my research towards the neighboring towns and occasionally also outside the province. I invite you to observe especially the background, the surrounding urban environment. There are no people, there are no children in this series. It is time to study the territory, to better understand the behavior of the people in this sad period when there is a return of nostalgia of an awful past. The environments, as is known, determine behaviors.
Shots taken at the various sites of the Zeche Zollverein area in Essen. I haven't been there for many years and now it is more like a museum than an abandoned plant. Things change.
One of the most exciting moments in my life as I worked my way through a box of eggs and all but one had a double yolk. I'd never seen one and now there were 5 in one boX!
I feel like a lot of these shots paid off and a lot of them didn't. I think my understand of what subjects make a good black and white photograph is improving. I'm also understanding my camera better.

In these pictures we can see the abandoned Montecatini (steel factory) near Rovereto, Italy, and the manors where the factory's engineers used to live.
