"La forza delle mani" (The power of hands) is a short journey inside the commercial activities of the Maddalena neighborhood in Genova, despite the decline as a commercial area happened over the last years the most different activities can still be found in this part of the city and they've become more than simple shops but places where people meet and share.
Using a small old camera I've tried to capture the intimate atmosphere of these places and the neighborhood itself, with a language partially decided by the author but mostly imposed by the "technological unconscious" of the medium. This work wants to be an homage to all those people that despite all the difficulties are still struggling to keep Maddalena alive.
