Here Are the Most Romantic Skate Photos You're Likely to See This Week

This article originally appeared on VICE Italy.

Claudio Majorana's new photo book, Head of the Lion, is a study of the intimacy between a group of young skaters in Misterbianco—a suburb of Catania, Sicily. "I don't think you can really get a feel for a city without knowing its suburbs," Claudio says. "Being the only part of a city that is actually expanding, they represent the future of urbanization."

The title of the book, Head of the Lion, refers to a large rock in the area where kids like to hang out in the summer—jumping over it is almost seen as a rite of passage.

Majorana is a trained doctor, and sees similarities between medicine and photography: "In both cases, it's about an exchange with people where it's important to find empathy. I believe doctors and photographers share a skillset."
