LE TONNARE

The industrial archeology of the sea

The traps make me the effect of archaeological sites. Once I enter it I begin to imagine the work that took place there, frenetic, rhythmic, lively and attentive, the result of a compact teamwork, sometimes held together by very specific songs, to go to the rhythm and measure the right strength .The walls tell it, the doors to the sea, the boats black with pitch, and then the truth is that they are located in beautiful places so it's easy to take your breath away. In Sicily there are some wonderful ones, visitable, even with the museum inside, cured and well managed, others abandoned, but not for this since less charm, they are beautiful as they are.
