Book: 40 SEASONS OF HUMANITY

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. In different remote corners of the planet, he has met people of distinct cultures, characters and dogmas, who have opened a window on their stories, letting emotions, traumas, sufferings and a perpetual light of life and joy shine through their eyes. Characters defined on the margins, minorities that are easy to ignore or that we simply do not know exist, albeit minorities of millions of people.

He has allowed himself to reach and explore the fragile balance that intertwines between people in the infinite beauty of diversity, through the face of 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 gaze and its essence. The determination of the protagonists in the images he captures is an extraordinary example of how every challenge can be transformed into an opportunity, and De Bettio is the spokesperson and interpreter of a piece of this humanity.
