THE MAGICAL WEAVE

THE ENCOUNTER AMONG MEN, WATERS, PLACES AND AN UNEXPECTED JOY

A gondola glides through the waters of Lake Braies. It has made the journey from Venice in search of the meaning of its present; it has returned to the origin of its history.

This sense is interwoven and enshrined in the beauty of the figures of its landscapes, which melt from the rocks and forests of the Dolomites into the waters of the lagoon.

The journey is slow, it is real and imaginary, and seeks to respond to the deep desire for love of places, land and water, and for what they offer us in possibilities of future life.
