Campi di grano
The film tells of harvest day: Armando and Lina re-evoke the practices, the relations and the hopes brought to light by such an important and ancient event. The little valley was at the centre of a broad agricultural system looking onto the sea. Today the residential belt of the city of Taranto surrounds it, yet its age-old charm and beauty remain.

Stefano Blasi was born in Rome at the end of the ‘70s. After spending his childhood photographing endless series of cows and horses during mountain walks with his family, climbing the trees in the garden of the seaside house, and dreaming of becoming an astronaut, he decided to study communication. And it was in those very years that he made the breathtaking discovery that two shots, placed one before the other, give rise to a meaning which was not there before.
