THE CHARCOAL BURNER: An Ancient Craft in the Heart of Southern Italy
This photographic series is a tribute to the timeless craft of charcoal burning, an ancient profession that still endures in the rural landscapes of southern Italy. Each image captures the labor-intensive process of producing charcoal—crafted entirely by hand, as it has been for centuries. Through these photographs, I aim to honor the skill, dedication, and resilience of those who carry on this fading tradition, preserving an irreplaceable link to the past.
