An intense, deep and extraordinary color. All thanks to noctiluca scintillans, the microalgae famous for its biolumescence, immortalized in the shots of the environmental photographer Quintino Mita. The protagonist of this show is the park of Porto Selvaggio, in Salento precisely in the stretch of sea that bathes Torre Uluzzo and the images you see show the night show that colors the landscape. The electric blue sea was wisely immortalized by Mita's lens which enclosed the luminosity of the noctiluca scintillans, whose growth is linked to the increase in spring temperatures.

It genera bioluminescenza when its cells are subjected to an external mechanical stimulus. It is a natural phenomenon: the tiny organisms emit light as a defense mechanism to scare off predators.
