EMILIA

Emilia is a story—the story of my hometown and of Emilia more broadly—a collective narrative through the lives of the women who, over the past eighty years, have worked to create the prosperity and freedom we enjoy today. Ordinary yet extraordinary women—teachers, a midwife, mothers and wives—pillars of our society despite everything. Elsa, Valdina, Norma, [...]

Emilia Photography Exhibition

Emilia mostra Silvia Casali Fotografia Europea 2016

Life sometimes is slow, it never changes and days seem endless and boring. On the other hand, it might happen that life speeds up and you realize that months slipped away in a blink of an eye. This has happened the last six months. I have just realized it's been that long since I last [...]

  "What are you doing? Why do you want to take a picture with me and this gift-wrapped box?" “It is for my friends, Mummy. Every year I send a Christmas card to my friends. I need a picture to go with it..." “Ok. And what’s in this small box?" “Nothing. It’s empty. It’s just [...]

Real Men Have Mustaches t-shirt

I always try to see the positive side of things and do my best to see the marvel in life, and I act whenever it is possible, instead of complaining and doing nothing, this last being a very "traditional" Italian custom, which I think is blocking Italy in this time of economic turmoil.

Riccione | Shades

Last June I "forced" myself to do something I had not yet even imagined to do, that is to organize a photographic exhibition. It all started with a visit to the beach where I usually spend the whole month of June in Riccione (Italy). I noticed that the light blue painted wall of the beach [...]
