Sole, Mare, Vento is a poetic tribute to the breathtaking beauty of Salento, the southernmost tip of Italy’s boot. The narrative follows a young woman’s journey to reconnect with her homeland and inner wisdom, enveloped by the stunning landscapes and timeless charm of this untouched region of Puglia. She is guided by personified elements that define Salento’s allure—Sun, Sea, and Wind. These elements, embodying the essence of Greek gods (Elios, Poseidon, Aquilo), communicate with her in the Salentino dialect, intertwining their messages with her path toward deeper self-discovery.
Her spirit mirrors that of Athena, weary of the noisy city life and yearning for peace and self-reconciliation. With a suitcase filled with past experiences, she seeks solace in the wild, unspoiled nature of Salento. It is within the simplicity of her daily rituals and the profound connection to the landscapes—the golden light, the endless horizon of the sea, and the whispering winds—that she finds renewal, emerging energized and reborn by the beauty and spirit of her homeland.
