The first issue of Caffè Italia, subtitled "Celebrating the soul, flavour & backbone of Italy", a series conceived by Swedish photo-reporter Johanna Ekmark, who’s been living in our country for over 30 years. The project is focused on the stories of great Italian craftsmanship (not just food) escaping any possible stereotype. You can buy it online from caffeitalia.se, for 33 euros
«In my dreams, Caffè Italia is to be a series, a collection of beautiful stories. A habit that we’re gradually losing as our profession as reporters, of images or photos, is no longer taken into consideration. Cultured and intelligent editors in chief have disappeared from editorial staffs. Copying from the Internet is unacceptable for those in our filed. Our children are surrounded by advertorials impoverishing the world. We have a moral duty towards them». Swedish Johanna Ekmark, managing one of the projects of the highest quality and intensity we’ve come across lately, doesn’t lack in enlightened vision. Caffè Italia, subtitle the soul, flavour and backbone of Italy, is ideally born in the Seventies, when her family moves to Maremma for the holidays. The girl is so charmed with our country that at 17 she decides to complete her high school studies in Colle Val D’Elsa. As of 1984 she works as farmer on the hills of Parma, and in 1996 she changes profession and becomes a photographer. She goes to Milan where she stays until 2010, when she moves for the first time out of her adoptive country: «I moved to Marseille, convinced that living in a neighbouring country would be the same. But there were no plumbers or electricians capable of doing their job. I learnt how important it was to illustrate the great Italian craftsmanship».
The paper and the result of the project are beautiful. "As of issue number two we would like to include a pamphlet with content in Italian too"
