Monterosso, Liguria, 2020
“Italy has always been a place of refuge for me. A true second home. When the pandemic started and was centralized in the north I was worried about my friends and a country I cared about so much. I didn’t know when I’d be able to go back again. Against the recommendations of many people I decided to go by any means necessary. What was revealed to me quite quickly was a country that was still smiling, still eating, and still being so quintessentially Italian.”Liam Cushing
