Ciao Simona! I really enjoyed touring this album and the way in which you captured this wedding. I also judge a great album by my desire to visit a place after I view the album and this album surely makes me want to visit Sardinia. Thank you for your kind comments on my Christmas Teddy Bear photo. Best wishes, Ken

Howdy, Simona. Thank you for your very kind comments on my Florida backcountry photographs. But your photos of your own country -- WOW! Outstanding photos! Truly outstanding. You are an amazing photo storyteller about where you live. Your pictures of the people and the town in "Fragments of the past" are particularly appealing to me. You should do MORE of the people themselves, of the people in their native setting, of photos documenting their traditional way of life and their crafts. This volume proves you're really great at doing just that. And it is a story that needs telling, and needs to be preserved, be it where you live, where I live, or anywhere else on this amazing, diverse globe of ours. What a wonderful photographer you are. Thank you for sharing your gift with us all. Nelson

Ciao Simona, come stai? Va tutto bene? Ti scrivo su questo magnifico album di memoria del passato e di richiamo alle tradizioni della tua terra. L'avevo visto più volte e mi era piaciuto moltissimo, ma per varie ragioni non ti avevo mai lasciato un messaggio. L'ho fatto ora così ti ho potuto salutare. Un abbraccio da Claudio.

Simona, I came to visit after reading your entry in Jayne's newest album so I am now beginning to explore yours; your photos are WONDERFUL! Loving to sew and do needlework, I was and am fascinated by the embroidery work displayed in these photographs; this a national treasure for your people!!! The woman weaving a rug is fantastic. I will now go to visit another of your albums but I will expect this to be a featured album in the near future! ... Judy aka L@dybug / Florida / USA

Mi querida Simnonetta, debo estar loca o totalmente ciega de que nunca vi este album tuyo.. no me lo perdono... esta obra maravillosa , una de tus mejores y yo ni siquiera lo he visitado... No me lo explico porque estas en mi lista de favoritos de hace tiempo..Bueno hablando de tus fotos aca ya son palabras mayores cada dia estas creciendo y creciendo en belleza , calidad y tambien la faz historica para mostrar al mundo las hermosuras de tu tierra. Todas las fotos son una obra de arte, aparte que las mujeres que presentas son muy hermosas y encantadoras. Los bordados magnificos , un poco me hacen recordar los que hacia mi madre de estilo hungaro, de donde era nativa. En resumen un album maravilloso que ya deberia de haber sido elegido para"feature" pero ya sabemos los idiotas de WS, muchas veces unas selecciones horribles. Pero lo importante es que tu calidad esta presente en todos nosotros tus amigos. Un abrazo muy muy calido con toda mi amistad/kathy

What an honor for (my friend too)Renato. He must be thrilled by your touching dedication of this beautiful album. Thank you so much for your ever so kind GB comment in my featured sky album, I am honored. Take care, Laura

Grazie, Simona per i tuoi giudizi sulle mie foto.Purtroppo, come vedi, non sono molte ma sono fatte con passione.Ogni tanto mi propongo di fotografare di più. (faccio foto da circa 40 anni).Vedi che anche le tue foto "non scherzano" e sono piene di passione! Sono stato in Sardegna per lavoro e per turismo e (non me ne vogliano gli altri amici di altre regioni) la trovo la più bella ed affascinante di tutte. Complimenti per i tuoi lavori e tanti, tanti auguri! Peppino.

Good morning Simona. Just had to come to see your latest photographs. Have seen again Maurizio's Sardinia portfolio dedicated to you. Such beauties all along. Have to see Sardinia with my own eyes some day. You have captured sooo well the wonderful feeling you have in that nice,little village there. Beautiful smiles, nice costumes - just everything. Thanks for sharing such beauties. The day has begane well for me, thanks to you. Wish you a great day too, with a warm hello, Antti

Ciao Simona. Questo album, trovo veramente bellissimo dall'inizio alla fine. Hai fatto le foto stupende. Quella che mi piace di piu' e' #28. E' ottima. Grazie mille per aver guardato il mio 'feature' pocci giorni fa. Sono stata molto felice dalla tua visita. Spero che capisce il mio Italiano. Leggo bene ma purtroppo non scrivo bene. Tanti cari saluti e' un bacione, Jayne/West Midlands, UK :) xx

Hola Simona, mi querida amiga, que hermoso regalo el que nos has proporcionado con este album. Opino como José Maria Ramón, Tu sabes fotografiar a las personas de forma espontánea y me encanta verlas en sus tradiciones, en su fiesta, en su alegria popular. También son muy bonitos todos los detalles de los trajes típicos y bordados. Oliena es un pueblo precioso. No es tu primer album donde fotografias la tradición popular, pero en todos ellos sobresale tu gran sensibilidad. Te felicito. Un abrazo con todo mi cariño. Jesus

Holaa Simona:Has de saber que tus vistas me han impactado;una por la tradición que representan, pero más el sentido femenino que has puesto en ellas. Resaltar la belleza y el adorno en la mujer, ha sido precioso de tú parte, para mi gusto. Te felicito por ello.Tengo elegidas algunas si me lo permites.La primera por supuesto,la 5 como en representacion de todos los trabajos hechos por delicadas manos,la 7-11--12-16-18-19-22-la 23,estas galletas cargadas de amor y paciencia,29-30-y finalmente la 31.Te saluda hoy de y desde Temuco-Chile.

Lo sapevo che come al solito ti sottostimavi......... guarda che anche quest'album e' molto bello e ci sono foto di visi e di dettagli che trovo davvero eccellenti (tanto per gradire: 16, 20, 23, 27, 29, 32, 35). Se posso permettermi si vede anche l'influenza di Maurizio in questi scatti, ma questa non e' una critica bensi' la piacevole constatazione che "lavorare" insieme e' fornte di crescita ed ispirazione epr tutti noi! Un abbraccio e .... a PRESTO!!! :-) Ruggero

Que preciosidad de álbum, Simonetta! Además de que las fotografías están maravillosamente bien reaizadas, es una verdadera gozada ver que hay lugares donde todavía se conservan tradiciones y costumbres que por desgracia se están olvidando en la mayor parte del mundo "civilizado". Te felicito, mi niña, y espero que WS sepa reconocer tu trabajo y te lo premie con una nueva feature porque de verdad la mereces. Te quiero, amiga mía, ya lo sabes. Besos de Joana.

Ciao Simona! Che meraviglia questo album! Varia e indovinata la sequenza di ambienti, dettagli, persone e lavori. La forza di queste immagini è la felicità e l'orgoglio, evidenti nei bellissimi ritratti, di far parte di una comunità che giustamente mantiene il tesoro di inestimabile valore rappresentato dall'insieme delle proprie tradizioni, della propria cultura, delle proprie abilità manuali. Grazie per questo bellissimo reportage e un plauso per la dedica all'amico Renato. Ciao! Con amicizia, Luca

Ciao Simona! What a precious album! Beautiful captures of the handicrafts, architecture, and above all, human scenes, all combine to an enchanting album which perfectly conveys the unique atmosphere of the time and place. Thank you for visiting my Italian albums. It was indeed a fantastic experience meeting Ruggero and his family and hiking in the Alps. I must say that Italy has many wonderful beauties and... many great photographers. Warm regards, Orly

Penso che saremo in italia in settembre 2006. Come ha detto Maurizio, quest'album dovrebbe essere un "feature" presto. Ti abbraccio! Beth

mauriziomalangone 2005.10.04 at 07:20:45 PDT
Carissima Simonetta, che grande sorpresa mi hai fatto! Un intero album dedicato a me ed e'un grande piacere e onore. E' un album stupendo, uno dei più belli che tu abbia mai pubblicato in W/S, bellissimi i ritratti, bellissime le ragazze, e la fotografia del bambino? Un capolavoro e me lo sono caricato sul mio desktop. I costumi e le tradizioni dei paesi e' sempre stata la mia p####ione e quella di mia moglie, peccato che da noi si vedano ####ai raramente. E i cesti? Meno male che mia moglie non li ha visti altrimenti cominciavano le solite discussioni, mi ha riempito la casa e il box con questi benedetti cesti di tutte le qualita', ma quelli mostrati nelle tue fotografie sono delle vere opere artigianali e probabilmente avrei anche permesse uno in più. Grazie, amica mia, sei stata bravissima e ti rinnovo i miei complimenti. Un grande abbraccio. Renato.
