This series explores Italy beyond its iconic image. Rather than simply documenting famous landmarks, I focus on the relationship between people, architecture, and everyday life. By observing moments of stillness, waiting, and interaction, I aim to show how individuals quietly become part of their surrounding spaces. Through symmetry, framing, and perspective, these photographs transform familiar places into personal experiences, revealing Italy as a lived-in environment rather than just a tourist destination.
