Frecce is the first body of work in color by the Italian photographer Renato D’Agostin.

Frecce Tricolori (literally “Tricolour Arrows”), officially known as the 313° Gruppo Addestramento Acrobatico, is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Aeronautica Militare, based in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Every year in Jesolo Lido, a seaside resort near Venice, Italy, Frecce Tricolori entertain thousands of people with colourful and eye-catching stunts, has become a tradition of the Italian summer in Jesolo.

Photographer Renato D’Agostin attended the show in August 2014 and created a series of photographs depicting the acrobatic movements of the aircrafts, their dense traces of smoke, an admiring audience, and, most of all, the sky painted in green, white and red.
