Confluent Encounters (2018) is an original project conceived in partnership with Fondazione Studio Marangoni. Toscano’s interest focused on the relationship between the fluvial and urban landscapes in the area of San Francesco (Pelago) and Pontassieve, where the Sieve and Arno waterways merge and anonymous anthropogenic details distinguish the scenery. The images, often captured vertically, result in a core sampling of the stratification of the territory and, once hung from the walls of the buildings of the Le Murate Complex, bring to mind the multifaceted relationship between architecture and nature.

Confluent Encounters (2018) is an original project conceived in partnership with Fondazione Studio Marangoni. Three professional photographers, entrusted with surveying the area of San Francesco (Pelago) and Pontassieve, focused on the landscape surrounding the waterways, in particular on the relationship between the river and human presence. A landscape where poetic glimpses – for instance, the point of confluence of the Sieve and Arno rivers – alternate with anthropized suburban snapshots, like the abandoned cement factory, vegetable gardens cultivated by locals, spontaneous bramble bushes, the grey viaduct covered with gra ti. The photographs taken by Marangoni, on the right, and Virdis, on the left, are displayed inside the Ketty La Rocca Hall, while the series of images taken by Toscano hang from the walls of the inner courtyard of the Le Murate complex. Some of these works were also exhibited in the towns of Pelago and Pontassieve and in the city of Florence using the spaces reserved to public billposting, thus displaying images depicting the fluvial landscape of the Florentine metropolitan area in the urban context
