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.

Flying over The Sustainable City in the outskirts of Dubai. It is a 114-acre development that has 500 solar powered villas, 11 natural greenhouses and an organic farm. It also produces more energy than it consumes. This development provides the kind of luxuriously sustainable lifestyle that Dubai’s “ruler” wants for his residents in the near future. A real turning point compare to Dubai itself. Shooting on assignment for @natgeo in Dubai #energytransition #renewableenergy #greencity #dubai #globalwarming #climatechange #energy #sustainablecity
Blurring the line of reality and create images that can make us imagine how the future can look like, is what I like most during my work Here I'm on board of Regina Baltica in the North Sea where hundreds of wind turbines are operating 50km away from the German coast while shooting for @natgeo . #renewableenergy #renewable #wind #windenergy #energiewende #energytransition #northsea #germany #future #sea #boat
An outtake from the white gold project @nytmag Carrying down the white marble rocks from the quarries has always been one of the most dangerous work, handed down by generations. Driving down on those small and nasty roads with such a rock on the back of your truck, must be something you've learned since kid. #marble #quarry #drone #dronephotography #marble #apuanalps #transition

Photo for @nytmag Rarely has a material so inclined to stay put been wrenched so insistently out of place and carried so far from its source," writes Sam Anderson in this weekend's @nytmag. 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 sculptured most of his statues from this stone. Now the trade is booming due to the demand in Saudi Arabia and other gulf states. @lucalocatellphoto's photographs of this area's majestic quarries reveal their own isolated world: beautiful, bizarre and severe.
