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

People enjoying the swing ride installed inside a cooling tower on the former site of a nuclear power plant that never went online. Wunderland Kalkar is an amusement park in Germany that receive around 600,000 visitors each year. Germany has embarked on an energy revolution and aims to be green powered by 2050. Fear for nuclear power grew in the country after Japan’s Fukushima accident–all German nuclear power plants will be shut down by 2022. This photo was taken on assignment for @natgeo My work is mainly focused on discovering possible technologic solutions confronting many of today’s pressing issues of our planet.

A worker is sands blasting radio active pieces at the Cleaning Department workshop inside the Lubmin nuclear power station, that was the largest nuclear power station in East Germany. At its peak, the plant employed around 10,000 full-time workers and around still 1,000 are working on decommissioning at the site since 1991. Germany is one of the 5th most industrialized country in the world and it is embarking in a energy revolution. They want to shut down nukes and coal and being a green energy powered country by 2050. Can Germany be a model for how we’ll get power in the future? Until September 30th my story on the German Energy Revolution will be exhibited at @getxophoto Festival.

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
