“THE RESISTANT FARMERS” is a series of portraits set in agricultural fields on full moon nights. The Moon acts as a backdrop, you can feel it in the glimmer of the eyes, in the reflection that enchants the landscape. It is the Moon that makes faces known; faces of effort and resilience that exude love. That moon that has marked the times in agriculture for millennia. They, the farmers, are soldiers on the front line, fighting in small and pure plots of land, which shine in the darkness of the land of fires, an area of approximately 3 million square meters between Naples and Caserta (Southern Italy), where waste of all kinds, especially toxic ones, coming from all over Europe have been hidden under the earth of agricultural fields and in tuff quarries. Their weapon is natural, integrated, organic agriculture, without chemicals, without herbicides, without pesticides. It is a project that sees them work alone but united, united in their ethical intent, faithful to the indigenous tradition to preserve biodiversity, they grow exclusively native products: apricots from Vesuvius, San Marzano tomatoes, Piennolo tomatoes, Centogiorni peas, Dente di fagliolo Died of Acerra, Papaccelle. Far from the large supply chain, they take part in 0km initiatives, markets and fairs. Private individuals and restaurateurs take part in this small/large project, allowing them to reduce waste and control production. Complaining about not being able to eliminate plastic from agriculture as they would like, they are attentive to consumption, the waste of water, the collection of special waste. And for them all the problems related to climate change are amplified (extreme meteorological phenomena, exotic insects, refractory parasites), which inevitably endanger the survival of the native species they preserve, often making the work done for the harvest in vain. They appreciate spontaneous plants, defend the insects that some breed and use to pollinate the flowers that will become fruits and vegetables. It is a dual commitment that translates into a gift aimed at protecting the Earth, but above all at offering healthy food to the community; dual in its social aspect, immense in its spirit, yet too limited in its common ideology.
