A weekend in Cesenatico
Cesenatico is one of those perfect places to practice photography. It has something wonderfully decadent about it, a typically Romagna tourist soul that rests on a past of sea and fishermen. It is full of abandoned corners that immediately recall Gilles Clément's third landscape manifesto.
"In the third landscape we find places where the absence of human activity has generated a refuge for the preservation of biological diversity. What is "uncultivated" or what we call "weeds" becomes here a place and a privileged element of ecological change." Especially in the early morning, when the sun rises from the sea horizon, the beach and the surrounding streets are an extraordinary photographic stage of seagulls and colourful walls scoured by the salt spray and the force of the wind.
The absence of people allows glimpses of the multiple architectural layers of the bathing establishments. Elements that survive the passage of time and immediately bring back memories of the sunny days of the 1960s and 1970s.
