There are spaces where democracies lose their principles. In Italy, the Trieste's abandoned Silo is one of these. Asylum seekers who survived the border crossing live in that place. Next of, in the World Square, some activists dress the refugees' wounds, others play volleyball, and some offer clothing.

Marioluca Bariona lived in Turin, Ventimiglia, and Genoa, where he graduated in nursing. As a social activist, he uses photography as a medium to raise awareness around social and environmental issues. He prefers a concrete photographic language aimed at revealing a collective, choral reality in which identities merge to show common values, demands, needs.
