Southwestern and Italian Landscapes: Recent works of Italian photographer Donatella Davanzo
Donatella Davanzo is an Italian anthropologist and photographer, who has travelled and studied widely in the Southwest. This show presents just a glimpse of the many powerful and captivating images coming from her camera – her eye on life. Her photographs show us some of the fascinating traditions, architecture, land and water spaces shared by Italy and the Southwest.
Donatella works as a photographer for her home city of Trieste. She also studies and photographs Italian life, American scenes and her great love – Native American cultures of the Southwest. In Italy she has captured views and stories about the ancient Venetian lace and glass crafts, fishing, water courses, the tango and clown-doctors, among other themes. One summer she travelled and photographed Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. In her anthropological and photographic fieldwork she focuses on culture, the use of space, architecture, the relationship between communities and the land, acequias, and local landscapes.
Besides exhibitions in Italy and Europe, her photographic works have also been published in a number of essays, articles and artistic monographs. She also prints her photographs on selected handmade Italian coloured and textured paper to enhance their characteristics – defining this technique as “pictorial photography.”

One of the newest residents at the sanctuary is Romeo the Red Fox. Romeo came from a zoo that was down sizing and when Leyton saw him he just had to do something so he and the crew built Romeo his very own, extra special, fox enclosure. Romeo is incredibly friendly. He is very cat-like in the way that he moves and he loves to play. I also did not realize that foxes have a scent gland similar to, though considerably less potent than, a skunk. When they get excited the air gets fragrant! Romeo is the most awesome little creature. I love him!
