“If all the world’s cultural heritage was contained in a time capsule, what would you include to demonstrate the legacy of your country?”

Antonio Auricchio 02.03.16
Each of you probably know something about Italy.
So you won’t see here any pictures of pizza, pasta, spaghettiand other fancy clichés about my country…
If anything, I took profound inspiration from the great geniuses Italy had the privilege to be the birthplace of, but, again, I preferred not to talk about Leonardo, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Dante and other similar fellows, since their endeavors belong to humankind as a whole.
I gathered here what, in my opinion, has the same strength to not let anyone walk by without being captured by its beauty. They have only the guilt of being “lesser” known, and indeed that makes them more intriguing to me.
I strongly hope what I chose to show will enchant you the same way it enchants me!
Enjoy
