Photo exhibition "AROUND ME"

Authors: Ilaria Di Giustili and Fabrizio Ferri

AROUND ME is a collection of photographs taken over the years. Unique, unrepeatable shots, because I found myself in the right place at the right time. One click to stop for a moment. A light that caught my attention. Where my gaze could not reach Fabrizio Ferri's. Me with my "feet on the ground" and he with his "head in the clouds". Those clouds that envelop the Gran Sasso at sunrise and sunset. Those clouds that go looking for or wait.

FABRIZIO FERRI Born in L'Aquila in 1974. He grew up and lives among the highest peaks of the Apennines. The charm and majesty of the Gran Sasso led him to combine his passion for hiking with photography. As self-taught he studied the subject and found himself with remarkable technical-artistic and meteorological knowledge. His photographs have been exhibited in New York in a group show; at Expo 2015 in Milan in the pavilion dedicated to Abruzzo and Vinitali in Verona. In 2017, in L’Aquila, his first solo show. In 2021, also in his city, the second solo exhibition "Question of Clouds" which will also be exhibited in Rome during RAW 2021 (the week of contemporary art at the end of October) at Ilaria Di Giustili's Giardino Segreto Gallery.
