This is a selection of photos taken by Andrea Pistolesi over the ten years spent in Asia, shooting stories for magazines and books. Ten years when he lived in the continent, facing the dramatic changes that modernization was introducing at an unprecedented pace. In the end this is not just a photographic gallery: is a document of the evolution that the continent has experienced in a crucial period of human history. The introduction and notes by Massimo Morello, the journalist that produced the "written side" of the stories, is the ideal completion of the whole story.
