La gente dei bagni
Stefania Bona, Francesca Scalisi, 2014
It's a microcosm of stories of people coming across each other during one of the most intimate moment of their routine: their personal body hygiene.
it's a meeting place for people coming from very different social enviroment who, however, have the same needs. the so-called "new poor", Italian people, earning less than 1000 euro/month, drawn by their destiny to use a public service that has always been
a symbol of absolute poverty.
It's a conflict place because, where poverty takes the features of violence and anger, because of shame and racism.
It's an integration place, that wasn't born from inclusion but it's risen from poverty.
It's a valuable place because, where poverty dwells, sharing, altruism and understanding are the values for a rebirth.
