EXCLUSIVE. Love at first sight: Pantelleria, the heart of Mediterranean Sea. GALLERY

Lorenzo De Simone is an italian young photographer. Heย made a documentary to tell Pantelleria, one of the most beautiful islands of the Mediterranean Sea through his photographs. An exciting job…

“Between the end of May and first days of June I decided to get away from Milan for aย six days of real, total relax. Iโ€™m a freelance photographer and for this reason I left myย heavy backpack at homeโ€ฆNikon cameras and lenses far from me for a littleย whileโ€ฆhard, but necessary sometimes!

The fact is that for my little holiday I decided to go to Pantelleria Island, a littleย paradise nearest to Africa than Sicilyโ€ฆI understood soon, during the first transfer inย scooter from the little airport to my apartment, how amazing this island is.

Beautiful landscapes, a huge amount of tiny (because of the strong wind), green vineyards, wonderfully coloured rocks and coastline, little villages like ghost town full of โ€œdammusiโ€, the typical stone houses in Pantelleria, the deep blue and shallow water of the seaโ€ฆ

I missed the Nikon just for a secondโ€ฆrelax: Iโ€™ve got the phone!ย So, enjoying this days, I could however fix that atmosphere so coarse but exclusive inย the meantime. Have a look!”
