Preface by Giovanna Calvenzi
Series: geografie #5
A geo-visual atlas to the west of Naples. Topografie Flegree investigates the territories of Bacoli, Pozzuoli and Monte di Procida as layered landscapes, the result of constant interaction between history, nature and human action. The three areas that Andrea Martino chose to portray share archaeological persistence, bradyseismic phenomena, territorial devastation and environmental beauty, but it is precisely their specificity, together with their belonging to a wider geographical and historical system, that makes the investigation particularly significant. With a deliberately neutral gaze Martino leads us along roads, through inhabited centres and along the sea shore, offering wide views from above and close-ups, moments in which nature still seems uncontaminated and moments in which human presence has saturated harbours and car parks. He does not judge: he observes and bears witness.
