Summer in Italy is a magical time. From everywhere people flock to the beaches to spend the summer days in their bagnio, the typical Italian lido. Often for generations in the same and deeply connected to it.
You let yourself be kissed by the sun, feel the salty sea water on your skin and enjoy the feeling of freedom. You can hear the happy laughter of the children in the background, talk to old acquaintances and discover new faces.
Life is celebrated together, memories are shared and new ones are created. The feeling of lightness and carefree is in the air – La dolce Vita.
I photographed entrances to bagnios.
They are totally inconspicuous and unexciting, and yet for many the entrance to great happiness and associated with many emotions.
