Errant Keepers
Men and wolves in comparison
The book shows the results of a fieldwork lastings three years, carried out exclusively within Montagne della Duchessa Reserve (Central Italy).
From the introduction
"[…] A theme I have always found interesting is, the coexistence between man and the natural surroundings where he lives and acts and how such a bond can exist without the ecosystem balance being modified.
It is from this turning point that I began to think and develop an innovative photographic project of a brief (but at the same time very long) story based on the challenging relationship existing between wolves and pastoralism. In this mission I have tried to highlight the potential strategies existing for a long-lasting harmony between them.
A story where wolves and man are not considered as two separated entities but more like two parallel lives in which they continually interconnect and share the same environment which is filled with unique characters and astonishing surroundings.
From the foreword by Luigi Boitani:
"[...] a rare example of dedication towards an ancient knowledge which is, unfortunately, slowly disappearing. It is my wish this book can leave a long lasting effect on every single reader".
From the prologue by Bruno D'Amicis:
"This book is important [...] In order to change our course, we must listen to passionate and truthful stories like this one. Never as today, the look and the empathy of people like Matteo is so strongly needed".
From the afterword by Duccio Berzi:
"So many books about wolves are being published nowadays. Unfortunately works capable of describing so convincingly the natural and anthropic environment in which the wolf has survived and still lives are rare".
