“New Porrajmos” is a photographic project, developed in several years, focused on Gipsies in Rome. They live in shacks in abandoned factories, under the motorways or along Tiber river. The prejudice of Italian citizens is always increasing. Gypsies don’t live only on charity and thefts. Most of them are musicians, work on metal objects found all around, or rummage into the rubbish to find clothes and objects to re-use or re-sell. Others have manual jobs or are bricklayer. The work describes Gipsies’ reality, living in a town that doesn’t’ accept them and their old traditions.
