Collective of photographers founded in Italy in 2006 by Michele Borzoni, Simone Donati, Pietro Paolini and Rocco Rorandelli. TerraProject creates individual and group projects, experimenting with an original collective writing approach.
"Il nostro bosco" (“Our Woodland”), is a project commissioned by FSC Italia that documents the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, a centuries-old, self-governing institution in the province of Trento, Northern Italy, that manages and protects over 20,000 hectares of communal forest, with a focus on sustainability, community benefit, and environmental stewardship. FSC Italia is committed to caring for forests and those who depend on them: protecting biodiversity, upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples, ensuring the safety of forest workers, and more.
“Su nella valle" ("Up in the valley") is the second chapter of the long-term work that Simone Donati is carrying out in the Casentino area. After exploring the urban areas of Bibbiena, Poppi, and Pratovecchio Stia, with a slow and attentive gaze turned to marginal and little-visited places, Donati now shifts his focus to the upper valley: mountain areas, small villages, and remote hamlets, where silent everyday life reveals deep roots, quiet resistance, and stories far from postcard clichés.
