These images are the first part of a more ambitious project that wants give pause on the conflicts that marked twentieth century. The first station leads to movement of people and war material most largest ever seen by the humanity.

Under a vast green carpet stretching a sea of black and white crosses, the days are typically Norman cloudy and rainy, and my self becomes aware of what my eyes are seeing.

Everything becomes gray  My journey begins by  areas that witnessed some  days of painful history. 

A feeling of discomfort takes over Me, I take refuge behind my camera, cemeteries, the streets, the beaches are empty ...,

Only a smiling tourists walks for what it seems to me so painful. I can not understand, only black and white help me to explain the pain and fear that ruins transmitted to me, bunkers, craters, fields, silent witnesses that speak to my eyes.
