The Last Frontiers

A journey through the borders of humanity

The Last Frontiers

When I started photographing, about forty years ago, I was inspired by a world still full of ethnic and cultural diversity. These have rapidly dissolved towards the end of the last century.

It was for this reason that I devoted myself, in the last twenty years, to the exploration of those fringes of the world where humanity lived still a pre-globalization phase. These were the edges of the humanized world.

Natural borders, where life still followed ancient rhythms because it was conditioned by the power of the environment. Or artificial, political borders, marked by history and by the contrasts of centuries.
