After the episode dedicated to the illustrations of the collective The Palermitaner, we return to the world of art. This time, we spoke with the successful photographer Federico Cannata, who told us his story and how his professional journey began in Modica, a small town in eastern Sicily, before taking him to Milan.
From a town of around 50,000 inhabitants in the deep south of Italy to the stages of Milan, Federico continues to build his career without ever forgetting the land where he was born. We were particularly drawn to his photographic project Sicilitudine (a title crafted out of an invented word from the artist, which would roughly translate to “Sicilianity”), for the striking beauty of the images he captured in Sicily.
