The four seasons become the backstage of an original theatre, at the heart of which lies an ancient and precious trade. The centre stage in Giovanni De Sandre’s shots is not only dedicated to the stone itself, brought into the light every day by the work of man, but also to the work of the people who face the changing weather conditions and the material’s harshness on a daily basis. The images make up the identity of a fascinating place and of a job that we can hardly imagine.
