"Goodbye Meadow is a deeply personal journey through memory, loss, and rediscovery. Filippo Zambon returns to Prato, a city he once left behind, to confront its past and his own. Through intimate photographs and poignant text, he navigates the streets of his childhood, the spaces his mother inhabited, and the emotions of a long-awaited homecoming. This photobook is more than a documentary—it is a meditation on grief, identity, and the ties that bind us to place and family."

Finally!!! 6 years after the exhibition of "The Abyss" series I have found the right method to reproduce the work in book form. Printed only with white on extra black 185g Sirio paper. I am really proud, because after almost 10 years, it is again a book with my photographs under The Angry Bat publishing house. I think it is my finest work.
