Genova-World

Genoa is a port; in the past, it was a great port, a gateway, a place of arrival and departure, of permanence and great changes. Like in all Italian cities, today it is home to people who were born in other countries, who have experienced cultures very different from ours, and who are undergoing an integration process that may have just begun or may be largely completed. Talking with them means encountering surprising perspectives, whether on small things, perhaps daily trivialities, or on more important topics concerning life and culture. We decided to organize some meetings and ask these people to choose a “thing” – any object, whether it’s a work tool, something related to a hobby, a sport, an activity, or maybe it’s a memory, a lucky charm, a keepsake – and to have their photograph taken while chatting about themselves and the significance of that object.
