From an end (Capo Grecale) to another (Capo Ponente), it’s a journey through Lampedusa, the southernmost island of Italy, catching its wonderful landscapes and its multi-faceted aspects that for centuries have made it a crossroad for different people and different cultures, among problems, contradictions and potentialities.
