Quote of the day: Mario Carnicelli
“As soon as I arrived, I was immediately fascinated. I felt as if I was living in another dimension. I was captivated by the carefree spirit and the freedom that America offered with its mix of cultures and traditions.

For me, America appeared to have a face that was instantly translatable into images.”
