"Pietro Mattioli's photographs reveal concealed traces of a city. At first sight the photographsi show cryptic vertical structures and intricate patterns, deploying their own beauty by being reduced to their complex forms, surfaces and colors.

Two Thousand Light Years from Home presents a selection out of a series of 80 photographs..."
