Silent beauty is the subject of this valuable volume. Her research has led Antonella Monzoni's steps to the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia, Iran, Lalibela, and Burgundy. "Antonella Monzoni -writes Franco Carlisi in the afterword to the book- believes in the ethical value of photography. Her work develops on the ridge of human participation and appeal to consciences. Hers is an empathetic gaze posed on the fragility of the world, an exercise of closeness.

Antonella's reportages, while containing a high coefficient of information, consciously overcome the limit of the document to affirm the value of testimony." An agile and elegant volume, in which the beauty of the photographs reaches the reader like a silent echo, and reverberates for a long time because powerful is the vision of the world that beauty accompanies.
