Everything began from the SNIA Viscosa plant in Varedo, which I have observed from my window since childhood. One day when I was at high school I finally managed to gain entry to this vast abandoned factory. On that day, which I'll never forget, something amazing changed my way of looking at the world. I discovered another dimension, made of dust, abandonment and silence. By means of photgraphy I tried to capture the atmosphere that reigned inside this abandoned temple of work.

Today I am completely immersed in all this. It's just wonderful to find how each place is different from the others, each with its own history.

My favourite places are factories, but I like to visit others kinds of disused buildings as well, such as hospitals, asylums and houses. However I have to say that the charm of tall chimneys and huge empty spaces is unique. There's no better place than a factory, with a history of hard work behind it, to observe the imperturbable passage of time and to watch the relentless reawakening of nature among rusty pipes and abandoned equipment.

With my photographs I want to free the soul of an age from a long sleep and turn it into palpable memories. At least that is what I hope to achieve!
