A reportage inside the Vallemaggia devastated by climatic events. My valley, where I lived for a few years, collapsed under the force of a powerful cloudburst. With each shot, a pang in my chest, with the awareness of the need to recount the horror that was being experienced. The choice of not photographing the population out of respect, limiting oneself to showing the force of nature.
