DESCRIPTION

An investigation was conducted for a few years along the A4 highway, between illegal waste trafficking and pollution. The virtuous and productive northern Italy seriously begins to deal with the environmental and health impact resulting from decades of industrial development. The tangible consequences of illegal landfills and abandoned industrial sites. Warehouses are on fire, barbarously closing the waste cycle that too often holds on criminal activity. Thanks to the disciplines of photography, cartography, urban planning, and investigative journalism, the “Terra di Sotto” aims to tell, document, collect stories and interpret data regarding the multiple environmental criticalities that impact the local system and the daily life of millions of people.
