This book contains the testimonies of a journey that began ten years ago. A journey for which the author started moved by the desire to discover and plant flags on a map and which soon matured into an inner journey. During this journey, which pushed him to different remote corners of the planet, he met people of distinct cultures, characters and dogmas, who opened a window on their stories, letting emotions, traumas, sufferings and a perpetual light of life and joy in the look. Some of them are often defined on the margins, minorities that are easy to ignore or whose existence we simply do not know, minorities made up of millions of people. De Bettio allowed itself to reach and explore the fragile balance that is intertwined between people in the infinite beauty of diversity, through the face of a humanity cadenced in 40 seasons. Photography goes beyond the image itself and represents his way of communicating tenacity and fragility, colors and shadows, the joy of a glance and its essence. The protagonists show in the images he captures an extraordinary example of how every challenge can be transformed into an opportunity, and he is the interpreter of a piece of this humanity.
