giacomo is a short poetic collection, an editorial project realised together with Laura Guarnier and Caterina Rossi. giacomo is the story of a love cataclysm: the theme of the collection is not love itself, but falling in love, the carousel of infatuations, fleeting and calamitic attachments.
The book is in A6 format, the colour palette uses a combination of pink and red, which are also used to treat the photos in duotone in the pages inside. The images represent various natural disasters (such as the high water in Venice, a landslide, a hurricane and a volcanic eruption) and are placed in analogy with the various emotions and phases that those that are in love go through. The poems are laid out in a non-linear way, so as to reflect the emotions that are the protagonists.
In the same year as its first printing, we presented the project at the Alcatraz Festival in Rome, where we also held a poetry reading from the book by theater actor Marco Mabritto.
