War Landscapes is a photo project based on an exhibition and a photobook with about 100 black and white images taken in fifteen years of work in major conflict areas of the world. 

I took a lot of photos of despair, screaming and pain but for this book I chose images of landscapes, places marked by the destruction and the effects of war. A way, I hope, to reflect away from the noise and excitement about all conflicts of modern times.

Battlefields, skeletons of aircraft, concrete walls, fortresses and military posts: so, in the almost complete absence of the human figure,  to reflect not on a particular conflict but about all wars.

Some say that the great civilisations have become such by the war. It is not true. The war does not build, but destroys the lives of men, their homes, their monuments, their cities. And the nature, the landscape, the beauty. The war has always been a step back in history. The ruins that rise over the fields of battle are the proof.
