From the 9^th April to the 18^th June the Museum of Fishing and of the Trasimeno Lake is going to host the pictures by Alvaro Masseini, result of several boat trips with fishers during their job.

The photographer will bring back to life the centuries-old tradition of the professional fishery, by capturing the key moments of this ancient trade, in the different seasons and with the most diverse equipments.

Fishers, maybe for the first time, have a face and are caught up in the concrete actions of their activity, with gestures and tools that the experience gave them.

The open-air life, the absence of a master who decides times and rhythms of their job, pays off the several sacrifices - even when the lake proves miser.

Alvaro Masseini with this exhibition wanted to pay tribute to the protagonists of a trade and a tradition that, even in the torments of the present time, resists stubbornly to the ephemeral sirens of modernity.
