2010 Zambrone, Calabria

Carabà rests after a busy and hot day. He keeps the farm under control!

Tropea seen from La Grazia beach near Parghelia. This is one of the nicest towns in Calabria and is well kept, unlike many other urban centres in south Italy.

Michele Colace sleeping under the hot sun of Calabria. La Grazia beach near Parghelia.

Tropea's old buildings and balconies rise strikingly from the calcareous rocks. Seen from the beach just under the town.

Francesco and Rose's house at Priscopio.

Carla Colace using working clothes in the traditional calabrian way, wrapped around the head and waist.

Bioarchitecture at Priscopio (Pirapora Inn). Seventeen years ago it was a dry and desolated place. We saw the birth of Pirapora farm holidays...

Fauna et flora...

This is a traditional terracota oil container called "bombolona" in calabrese dialect. The upper part and handles are loosely enameled.

Michelangelo Colace working in his farm. I first made a sketch of Michele in 1990, tenty-one years prior to this one! Oddly enough, I am 58 now, the same age he was then...

This iron structure is traditional and was used as a base for tables, working benches and even beds.
