Santa Lucia

My images are an intimate disclosure of invisible existences.An attempt to recover the meaning of life through relationships,the neighbourhood and the family.Between 1950 and 1970,the city of Cosenza underwent its major demographic and building development.At the same time the decline of the historical center also began.The urban expansion was not regulated and followed the unwritten rules of speculation and corruption.This caused a complete imbalance between the roles of the town’s center and the rest of the city. The district of Santa Lucia in Cosenza’s historical center was once the core of city life.Also known as the prostitutes district, it is a different entity separated from the city;a parallel world where the decay of its buildings shares the everyday life of its people.
