Torviscosa, located in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, was established in 1937 during Italian fascism. It exemplifies a planned industrial city, created to reduce Italy's dependence on foreign raw materials after the 1929 global economic crisis. The town focused on producing synthetic fibers, especially rayon, to replace imported cotton. Its urban layout and architecture reflect fascist rationalist and modernist styles. Now, Torviscosa has fallen out of history, with few residents remaining, and its factories are half-rotten, symbolizing a bygone era.
Born in 1967 in Karthaus, a quaint mountain village nestled in the heart of South Tyrol and built around a historic monastery, I have lived in this serene and picturesque place my entire life. My husband, our dog, and two cats share this tranquil setting with me. My passion for photography led me to the Prager Fotoschule in Linz, Upper Austria, where I studied from 2013 to 2017. I completed my diploma work in 2018, earning the highest distinction. Since then, I have pursued a career as a professional photographer, participating in both group exhibitions and solo expositions.
