Before night falls

"Today it is difficult to trace another dream in Cuba that is not to flee"

Cuba has always been not only Cuba. It is also its difficult and tormented relationship with the outside world, with what is longed for and feared, expected and discussed. Everything else - another life, another possibility, another land - is part of Cuba and the Cubans like a sweet evil with often indistinct features. Thus, it happens that the perennial joy of its people is transformed into a garment that covers the blind desire for change and that Cuba, home of vitality, warmth, energy and uninterrupted dancing, suddenly reveals an excruciating melancholy.

Aldo Feroce

Aldo Feroce, born in Rome1957. I started photography in 1976 at age 19 with a film camera and self-taught. I learned to print in the darkroom, developing film and printing in black and white. Subsequently, for about twenty years, I dedicated myself to wedding photography services until eight years ago I started dedicating myself to a different gender with intent to create something that could satisfy me on an emotional level. The passion shifts to current social and documentary themes. --- AWARDS PONCHIELLI AWARD 2023 Finalist "The Palace of crossed destinies" BARTUR PHOTO AWARD 2023 Finalist " Before night falls" KOLGA TIBLISI AWARD 2022 documentary story Winner "The Palace of crossed destinies" BARTUR PHOTO AWARD 2022 Face of Humanity second place "The Palace of crossed destinies" BIFOTO AWARD 2022 Winner "The Palace of crossed destinies" WORLD REPORT PHOTO 2022 finalist
