Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, Italy lies at the heart of a Climate Change hotspot, as identified by recent IPCC reports. Warming trends here exceed the global average by more than 20%, making the country a frontline territory to observe the transformations of a warming world. 

Heataly, a title merging Heat and Italy, is a journey through the contradictions of a nation in the Climate Crisis era. Iconic Italian landscapes like the snowy Alps or the coastal zones become a mirror of a society caught between the romantic image that once defined its timeless beauty and a future demanding courageous choices.

The project aims to portray a country that still sees its own transformation as something distant, even as it unfolds before its eyes. A place where beauty and vulnerability coexist. Heataly invites us to reflect on what kind of future can emerge from a present in which the global political uncertainty keeps distracting us from the great elephant in the room: the Climate threat and the urgent action it requires.
