In this series, we discover an intimate and personal perspective that traverses the homes, landscapes, customs, and traditions of San Marino. The project operates on multiple interpretative levels: on one hand, it offers a cultural and anthropological insight into Sammarinese society, its folklore, and its territory; on the other, it allows for direct engagement with people, following them in their daily routines, first steps, and moments of familial closeness. The images — many of them previously unseen even by Sammarinese themselves — open up a collective imagination that spans from the 1960s to the 1990s. In addition to offering glimpses of the historic center, Mount Titano, and its towers, the project also explores residential — and often less represented — areas in the castles of Dogana, Montegiardino, Borgo Maggiore, and others. Some sequences document the lives of Sammarinese families who emigrated to America, providing a valuable visual testimony between two worlds: the one of origin and the one of elsewhere.
