Giancarlo Scarchilli

The wisdom of water, its strength and intense expressiveness, both our lives and in cinema. How many final or main scenes in films have had the sea as ‘co-star’! My creativity has had fundamental and unexpected help and aid from water and the sea itself, and this is the reason I owe them both so much gratitude
