Dedication to the shepherds, to those who gave us food, to those who gave us folk tales and traditions, to those who know the Earth and the Animals as well as themselves. Weaned on donkey’s milk if their mothers had no milk for them. Raised on the smell of orange peels warmed by the fireplace.
To my shamans with their hands dirty with earth, who listen to the mountains, read the stars, and predict the pregnancies of their animals.

I photographed this shepherd in the Nebrodi mountains a few years ago, and I returned to my island to finally dedicate this work to him.
