THE WHITE GOLD - THE MAJESTIC QUARRIES OF NORTHERN ITALY, Drone Footage

Beautiful, bizarre and severe. This is the incredible exchange between human and nature attested by the Apuan Alps marble quarries in Italy,  the 'origin' of some of the most important human operas, from Michelangelo's David until the Mecca and Medina Mosque. Directed for The New York Times Magazine, more at: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/magazine/the-majestic-marble-quarries-of-northern-italy.html?smid=fb-share

Britain's green culture extends to even these new luxury developments.

Built to repopulate the post-war City of London, the Barbican Estate has become the poster girl for 1960s architectural idealism. On assignment for @natgeo in London for the next 3 weeks.

CERN, Switzerland. Today I’m coming back to one of my favorite places on earth, where thousands of scientists from all over the world are searching the basic rules of the Universe. I’ll keep posting from here in the next days. #cern #universe #science #materia #experiment
I’m happy to share that I won the 1st Place in the Landscape category with ‘White Gold’ at World Photography Organization @worldphotoorg Rarely has a material so inclined to stay put been wrenched so insistently out of place and carried so far from its source. In Italy’s most marble-rich area, known as the Apuan Alps, the abundance is surreal. Hundreds of quarries have operated there since the days of ancient Rome and Michelangelo sculpted most of his statues from this stone. Now the trade is booming due to the demand from Saudi Arabia and other gulf states. The photographs of this area's majestic quarries reveal an isolated world; beautiful, bizarre and severe. It is a self-contained universe of white; simultaneously industrial and natural. #anthropocene #quarries #marble #landscape #rocks #carrara

The labs at the Wageningen University, the most advanced agriculture university in the world in the Netherland. Here the labs are greenhouse where students from all over the world are studying how to solve problems back in their country.

For @natgeo I’ve been to the south of Spain to meet Joelia and Jaime, asteroids hunter. Here is how they survey the sky every night. These 3 Telescopes, in the south of Spain, work alone in the mountain under a non-stoping stop moving and shooting loop commanded from 40 kilometers away, a stressing and intense robotic mode of operation.  They collect around 50.000 images of the sky every night. Those images contain stars and also distant galaxies and nebulas, but much closer asteroids and satellites too. The story ‘They Are Watching You’ — is now online: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/02/surveillance-watching-you/ #future #asteroid #telescope #survey #earth #timelapse #night #stars #deimos
