Light and residues, by Nicola Polloni

Terre abitate

Alcamo

A large bell hangs between two weathered stone structures against the sky.
An empty central street is lined with balconies and lamps beneath the vertical Cinema Esperia sign.
A broad stone arch frames a narrow residential street lined with balconies, air-conditioning units and potted plants.
A narrow sloping lane with patterned paving runs between closely spaced houses, balconies and overhead cables.
A weathered stone lion lies on a pedestal outside the modern Alcamo post office.
Large freestanding letters spelling “Alcart” stand in a palm-lined square facing an ornate church façade.
A white winged sculpture rises among agave plants before a street filled with cars.
A row of tall palm trees lines an overlook above the surrounding town and distant coast.
