In this evocative photo taken in the medieval cellar of Osteria Tabarro in Parma at two in the morning, we see Adriana Donica, unmade-up after a very long day. The setting is intimate and exclusive, a place few friends of the owner have ever entered, lit by candles and with precious bottles of wine, glasses of Barolo, and a turntable with a valve amplifier playing Paolo Conte. Adriana's pensive gaze and the solitary ambiance reflect a moment of quiet amidst the storied surroundings. The image is part of a series shot with a Leica M10 Monochrom and a Summicron 28 mm f2 lens, capturing the raw and timeless beauty of the scene.
