My Ancestral Homeland

Photographs of Italy

My family hails from Amorosi in Italy, just outside of Napoli, and these are photographs I took on a visit in 2017. I actually attended graduate school at the University of Ferrara, where I did my dissertation on Human Population Genetics under professor Guido Barbujani.

Ronald R. Ferrucci, aka Nichilismo in Fotografia photographs abandoned places, cemeteries, and decaying urban landscapes...amongst other things. This is his portfolio website as well as a place from which you can purchase his photographs.

Portfolios are found under The Victims distributed to specific subject matter. Here you can explore his photographs of New Orleans (The Big Uneasy), Cemeteries and Funerary Traditions (Cities of the Dead), New Orlean's Black Masking Indians (We won't Bow Down), Urban Exploration (Visions of a Dying World), the American Southwest (In the Land of Edward Abbey), and Italy (My Ancestral Homeland). You can also Stare into the Abyss (ie, search for photographs) if you dare.

Below, you can follow us (I mean, it's your funeral).

Whilst one can purchase photographs from the various portfolio pages, you can also find photographs for sale under ecommerce. Here, you can also find one-offs, sale photographs, and other items such as postcards, and odd sizes.

In addition to prints of different formats, you can also request special matting and framing (he does all his own) or different, not specific, sizes.
