Women’s project: Maria [Parma, 2013]
In early 2013 I decided to organise a photographic women’s project. The main purpose was to show the exceptional beauty of our regular “imperfection”. At the same this was meant to be a manifesto of female preciousness and a praise to women’s active contribution in our community. Quite a big bunch of ladies accepted to be part of it. These sessions were taken in Foto Studio Carlo Urbani (in Parma) between January and March 2013. Enjoy beautiful Maria‘s shoot!
INNO ALLA DONNA di Alda Merini
Stupenda
immacolata fortuna
per te tutte le creature
del regno
si sono aperte
e tu sei diventata la regina
delle nostre ombre
per te gli uomini
hanno preso
innumerevoli voli
creato l’alveare del
pensiero
per te donna è sorto
il mormorio dell’acqua
unica grazia
e tremi per i tuoi
incantesimi
che sono nelle tue mani
e tu hai un sogno
per ogni estate
un figlio per ogni pianto
un sospetto d’amore
per ogni capello
ora sei donna
tutto un perdono
e così come vi abita
il pensiero divino
fiorirà in segreto
attorniato
dalla tua grazia
