Beyond the realm of media censors and glossy tour guides, Trolley Books has published a brutal condemnation of contemporary life in Italy. This is part photobook and part philosphical rant, including contributions from five award-winning Italian photographers, and four philosopher commentators.
From the book, Made in Italy: Vele di Scampia during the Camorra war, Napoli, January 2005, by Mario Spada
It's a book filled with anger, confusion, sadness and rage. And beauty, too. See 26 photos and read the review in Lens Culture.
