Situated midway between Africa and Europe, Sicily is an island of extremes. Earthquake tremors, incandescent volcanos, and three sparkling seas vie for supremacy over its rugged terrain, a testament to the indomitable force of nature and our impotence in its shadow. Look beyond Sicily’s staggering landscape, look closer, and you’ll come across a more modest–but equally extraordinary–form of beauty.

Its allure lies in its understated simplicity, and the images of Sicilian photographer Leandro Colantoni might just help you find it. By skillfully combining light, geometry, and colour, Colantoni’s photographs take us on a sun-drenched journey where even the most mundane moments invite us to revel in the richness of life.
