The photos of this book were taken during three years 2009-2011 in the places along the 54 km of the National Road n. 7 Quater "Domitiana" in the cities of Licola, Lago Patria, Ischitella, Villaggio Coppola-Pinetamare Castel Volturno, Pescopagano, Mondragone, and crossing the Mediterranean coast of the provinces of Naples and Caserta, in Italy. These are the places of my childhood summer holidays but also the headquarters of the Nigerian mafia (born in Castel Volturno and not in Nigeria), the commercial area of the Neapolitan Camorra and Mafia Casalese, area of illegal waste.
This book is not a journalistic document about a single event or one theme, but it's a personal project about my home, the place of my childhood. It's about what happened to these places. I tried to explore the changes into the places of my childhood memories by making them collide with reality.
The reality is that the direction taken by mankind, is far from reaching a better future which would leave our children better off their parents. - Salvatore Santoro
The full bleed printing immerses the viewer into the setting, while small booklets throughout show snapshots from family albums, showing summer holidays from the photographer's youth and give a sense of the changing landscape of the area.
3/3 was founded in Roma, Italy, by Chiara Capodici and Fiorenza Pinna with the aim to work on projects focused on the protean nature of the photographic image, focusing on the dimension of the photo-book, on the constant quest for a confrontation between the Italian tradition and an international culture.
