I’ve always understood the world through images, and photography has always been my way of trying to talk back — to start a dialogue. I’m Andrea, Italian designer and art director living in London. In 2018, I started House of Deda with the ambition to document the myriad stories from Salento, the southern niche of Puglia, Italy, where I grew up. A few years into this, Edoardo joined me as an editor. Beyond his editorial expertise, he’s been a bridge to many of the characters and tales you now read on our website. Together, we strive to offer a reflective glimpse into the essence of Salento and its otherwise fading stories.
