ISPRA, on the occasion of the presentation of the 2019 land consumption annual report, has invited Angelo Antolino to show the consequences of this myopia, trough with his exemplary project "Italian souvenir": a comparison between satellite images and photographs, an emblematic sampling of 'before' and 'after' in terms of artificial coverings on the national territory which plastically translates the urgency to change course.
