This photo project explores the unique history of Torviscosa, an Italian city founded during the Fascist era. The images capture the rationalist architecture, reflecting the city’s origins while highlighting its evolution into a vibrant, modern community. Through a blend of architectural shots and portraits of residents, the project delves into the tension and harmony between historical legacy and contemporary life. It invites viewers to reflect on how a place rooted in a complex past continues to transform and redefine its identity in the present.

Born in Karthaus, a small mountain village build on and around a former monastery in South Tyrol in 1967. Having grown up in this same place I still live there with my husband, a dog and two cats. I have attended the Prager Fotoschule in Linz, Upper Austria from 2013 to 2017 and completed with my diploma work with the highest marking in 2018. Since then I work as a professional photographer and have participated in 3 group exhibitions in Austria and Italy.
