Il mondo di Vesna- III

In Naples there is only one legal gipsy
camp, located behind the Secondigliano
prison. When I saw this camp it appeared
to me a scenery oneiric and real
at the same time.This was the world of Vesna, a deaf-mute little girl: the microcosm of her family was full of childish games inside deprivations and discomforts but also of socialization times.
The main subjects that attracted my attention
were children with whom my interaction
was particularly easy. Through the
photography I got involved into the dreamy
world of Vesna and her five brothers. My
experience was based on the empathy and
on the sharing of the subjective lived background.
The Roma people constitute, as a whole, an
extremely vulnerable group of inhabitants in
our countries. They are still rejected, after
centuries of discrimination and slavery, with
brutal effort. Gypsies are also coalesced
because they live in precarious situations
almost everywhere inside the European
Union, then their existence is relegated to
the borders of cities and emarginated by society.
The individuals are fragile, their lives are
spent in a sense of disorientation and often
passive resignation. The image of Romanies
is basically the result of medieval generalizations.
