Domenico Spinazzola is revolutionizing the perception of public benches. Known as "Spina," this photographer started playfully with an Instagram photo of a rickety bench, and continued with a passion: capturing the strangest and most fascinating benches he finds. What might seem like ordinary urban objects, in Spina's hands, becomes a canvas that tells stories of design and local culture.

His photographs don't simply showcase benches; they explore their context, offering a unique perspective on architectural details and the surrounding environment. Each shot is carefully crafted to highlight the aesthetics and uniqueness of these structures, often overlooked in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The bench, however, remains the primary subject.
