"Few men, entrenched in the Devil’s tower, watched for enemies never to come. For centuries they patiently waited, their minds easy prey for the evil one.

A fair lady chased the Devil away and turned the tower into a castle; not for war, but to make a home of it. Scattered onto the rocks outside his former seat, the Devil now screams between the thunders and the waves.

The tower, is the Devil’s no more."

ON THE EDGE is my way of sharing - through three universal stories - a moment of self-discovery and rebirth at an important junction of my personal life and career. For that, there’s nothing like pure, unadulterated black & white photography: it is the best medium to tell timeless, powerful and expressive stories, and to reveal the nature of the planet’s landscapes through my photographic interpretations.

I've been exploring Tuscany since I was a kid, I know it like the back on my hand & love it deeply. The coastline south of Leghorn is home to many old watchtowers; one of them, a small tower known as "Devil’s Tower", has long been developed into a residential castle overhanging the Mediterranean sea.

It is such a powerful feeling to think that a small group of men could forever wait in a small tower for their end to come, never knowing when that could be. "The Devil's No More" is a testament to human courage.
