Here they fought! 1914 – 1918
On the First World War Trails
From Alps to Carpathians
Photographic Exhibition
Here they fought is a photographic exhibition showing the Great War sorrow from the Alps highest peaks to the forgotten Carpathian Mountains.
It all started from the story of a family destroyed by that war.
A photographic reportage that required years and made of historical searches, exploration, adventure, snow and ice.
A specific purpose
It has a precise purpose: not to forget the pain suffered by more than 10 million European soldiers that died on the battlefields and the dramatic experience of their families.
An emotional perspective
It is a glance across 7 nations to offer an unseen emotional perspective that, from the darkest times of Europe, allows to get an interpretative key on the contemporary life.
Remembering the Fallen
This exhibition is dedicated to my Great Grandfathers that never came back from war. It is dedicated as well to all the ones that had the same destiny.
