About the Book
Palimpsest is a quiet meditation on memory and place.
Over nearly twenty years, Renato Rampolla has returned to the Blue Ridge Mountains, photographing a landscape that feels familiar yet continually altered. These images are not documents of location, but reflections on how memory reshapes what we see. Fog, motion, and softened detail become a visual language for remembering. What remains after clarity fades.
The word palimpsest refers to a surface written over again and again, where traces of earlier marks persist beneath what replaces them. Memory works the same way. It accumulates, revises, and leaves residue.
This book explores that process. Not what happened, but what stays.
