Where the echo still resounds | The pre-alpine highlands, between Veneto and Trentino, are places where nature and history intertwine in an indissoluble way. In these places, isolated from the transit areas, language and traditions of an ancient population are still preserved, the Cimbri. The language called cimbrian is a Germanic language of Nordic origin, still spoken in some areas of the highlands. The Cimbrian culture is rich of myths and legends coming mainly from northern Europe.

This project wants to represent - what has been for centuries and still continues - the relationship that has been established in these places between man and nature. For this reason, the choice fell on the Cimbrian community, because it constitutes a bridge between past and future, and between reality and fantasy; through legends, traditions and their unique language.

The project is titled Where the echo still resounds, the echo of the legends that comes from the past and that progressively fades away until it disappears. But this echo lives and still resonates in the memory of a few people and especially in some places, pervaded by an immortal aura and enchanted. The intent is also to try bringing back to life through photographs the memories of a past times, when man lived according to Nature, respecting and venerating her. www.jacopobrunello.com
