This volume presents fifty images “messed” involuntarily during the printing tests of my book In Domo Foscari, memories and images of a university (2018), published to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Ca ‘Foscari university. In order to reduce paper waste, the test prints of In Domo Foscari were carried out, during work in progress, not on new machine sheets but on those already printed and, for some reason, discarded. Thus some singular and suggestive superimposed images were produced by chance. Some of these images are collected in Scraps .

This volume presents, on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Liberation, an anthology of the diary that he wrote during the 586 days of his internment. On this occasion, his imprisonment is juxtaposed with that accidentally suffered by a black redstart trapped inside a small space at the very same time when the captain’s diary was presented in a Tuscan library. The book is accompanied by thirty images of the black redstart.

26. Metafisiche, fotografie dalla quarantena veneziana, Postcart, Venice, 2022.
During the quarantine due to the coronavirus (8 March-18 May 2020), Venice took on a not only different but also unusual and surprising appearance. The city emptied itself and became silent, with the air and water clear and clean. The signs of an extraordinary beauty were evident everywhere, but the beauty was also disturbing because it contrasted with the tragedy that had made it possible. It was a unique experience to which the images collected here are dedicated.
