Il SILENZIO   Created in Milan, 2002

High Brianza, Italy, 1986

Soft fog in the Fall afternoon, many years ago.
A Lake, a meadow, Alberto, Cinzia, Daniele and Me.

The flute, the wind, the memory of a song.
What is left of a sound; what is left of a branch.
Thus, a flute can come back to be a branch.


Brianza is on the mountains near Milan. We reached it walking with my friends and Daniele (my husband). When we arrived there, we were surprised by the Silence.
We rested under the trees, listening to the Sound of Silence. I took few photos, and the disturbing noise came from the camera clicking.
Last year I found a flute fragment in Bologna, at a lute maker’s shop. When I took it in my hand, I thought no more music for you. It reminded me of the Silence, and I remembered that place with the fog, on the mountains.
