Mauro Curti
“Riturné”
Mauro Curti’s “Riturné” delves into the depths of the inner self, facilitated by a journey back to the photographer’s hometown. This captivating photo series examines the intricate relationships between individuals and their native territories, personal conflicts, and the notions of family and belonging. It reflects upon the memories and absences that define the concept of home and the inevitable passage of time that causes certain aspects of our lives to fade away.
Centered around the province of Cuneo, situated in the northern Italian region of Piemonte, “Riturné” showcases the reality that Mauro Curti experienced growing up, including the places, people, and beliefs that shaped his upbringing.
Raised in a small village near the Alps, Curti’s love for nature guided his initial foray into photography, capturing moments connected to the rural landscape and the myriad forms of life found in nature.

Reconnecting with Roots
Central to the photographer’s creative process is the everyday and ordinary life, which is deeply influenced by the outdoors and an insatiable desire to explore without the constraints of geopolitical boundaries.
“Riturné“, which translates to “Come Back” in the Piedmontese dialect, is a poignant attempt to maintain and preserve a living connection with a past that is gradually becoming history.
Through his evocative photographs, Curti seeks to immortalize small fragments of a fading world before they vanish, reminding us of the impermanence that pervades every aspect of life.
“Riturné” is a visual ode to the enduring bonds between individuals and their origins, inviting viewers to reflect on their own connections to the places and memories that have shaped them.
