With Periplo Siciliano, Marco Rigamonti contributes to the visual history of Sicily through a research focused not so much on the traces of a past or of a society on the verge of disappearing, rather on the "ruins of the present".
«Sicily is a magical place especially for us, northern Italians, who live in the fog and dream of the sea. Sicily is the place of art, gastronomy, culture, intact nature, but is also a land of contradictions, speculation and oppression. It is the contrast that always fascinated me in Sicily: past-present, beautiful-ugly, true- false, but this obvious contrast takes, for us who come from far away, a positive, fascinating connotation, almost as if the Light, this splendid light that envelops everything has transformed it into a mysterious and beautiful riddle.» — Marco Rigamonti
