"Il Cotone" project it's about a small area (called Cotone) of the city of Piombino, in Tuscany, Italy.
I'm trying to tell through photography this industrial quarter, working-class neighborhoods behind a big steel factory in which places and people still permeated by values of solidarity, collective and individual behavior that are still almost of other times.
My grandparents and my dad were born and raised here so I often visited these places when I was a child...I feel a great emotional connection with these places . It's a work in progress.
