Wildfires have ravaged the Italian island of Sardinia for several summers. The fires are just one of the problems affecting the island of Sardinia. Frenzied mass-tourism brings thousands of people to the island, but some fear it does not allow for the economy to develop organically.

The Italian photographer Francesca Pili’s tongue-in-cheek dystopia places tourists into the burnt landscape, as sunbathers and revellers continue their holidays while the island burns. The project’s title refers to a local phrase directed at the arsonists often responsible for these fires.
