Photographer Luigi Avantaggiato has documented the ways in which an Italian community has harnessed the geothermal energy in its area, in his project The Cloud Factory
Geothermal energy is the natural heat produced within the planet. It can escape as steam or fluid through cracks in Earth’s surface, to heat hot springs, for example – or to be exploited as a source of energy.“All the [inhabitants] I have met have given me back incredible positive feelings, as if that form of energy were a divine, almost sacred gift,” says Avantaggiato.
He believes the practices in these “small, autonomous energy communities” are “very important resources for guaranteeing a sustainable and environmentally friendly future”.
