Barges on Iseo Lake
by Franco Volpi
Description
Mooring barges used for transporting materials on the shores of Lake Iseo, a reminder of ancient trades.
A glimpse of the lake becomes the subject of an entire novel of colourful plots and open dialogues between the elements of nature. Echoes of man's activity are the preamble to a symphony of colours, from the vibrant cold tones of the water lit up on the horizon by a glimpse of light after a storm. The background emerges powerfully in whites, blues, purples and the tinkling of patches of colour to draw an ancient village welcomed by the lush greens of an island.
