"WAKE"
A whole night
thrown near
a massacred
companion
with his mouth
sneering
facing the whole moon
with the congestion
of his hands
penetrating
my silence
I have written
letters full of love
I have never been
attached to life
so much
Cima Quattro, 23 December 1915
Giuseppe Ungaretti
PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT:
This project entitled "Wake" which I composed on the occasion of the Centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, takes inspiration from a poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti entitled the same name. He wrote this poem as a young soldier while he was on the front in the mountains of Karst (Italy) on the night of December 23,1915, describing all the pain and horror of the Great War.
In my photographs I took details of the monument "Martyrs of the Resistance" in my town in Reggio Emilia. (Italy)
