Little Tibet #712295

Campo Imperatore, Abruzzo, Italy.

The well-known mountaineer, ethnologist, writer and photographer Fosco Maraini compared it, on a small scale, to the Phari Dzong valley in Tibet, coining the term Little Tibet which is still in common use today. Passerini has been taking refuge there for more than twenty years, and in this period of time he has taken a series of shots which are now presented in this selection.

The project is a tribute to this plateau surrounded by mountains and crossed by herds of horses, grazing cows, flocks of transhumant sheep with their shepherds and dogs, wolves, birds of prey, and the various wonders that animate it.
