Jurufoto Luigi Reccia

—Pertama sekali – siapakah yang boleh anda namakan sebagai jurufoto terbaik di Napoli, Itali? :)

—I don't think I have the answer to this question. Every photographer has a different point of view, the beauty of this world is that you can learn something from everyone.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—The moment between two moments.

—Bagaimanakah anda mentakrifkan kejayaan? Bagaimanakah anda mengukurnya?
