Giovanni Savino Photography
My passion for photography is about documenting and preserving disappearing culture.
The main subjects of my personal work have been unsung heroes of everyday life: everyday people.

nostalgia (n.) 1770, “severe homesickness” (considered as a disease), Modern Latin (cf. French nostalgie, 1802), coined 1668 by Johannes Hofer, as a rendering of German heimweh, from Greek algos “pain, grief, distress” (see algia) + nostos “homecoming,” from PIE *nes “to return safely home” (cf. Old Norse nest “food for a journey,” Sanskrit nasate “approaches, joins,” German genesen “to recover,” Gothic ganisan “to heal,” Old English genesen “to recover”). Transferred sense (the main modern one) of “wistful yearning for the past” first recorded 1920. -
