Muri di Piombo (Lead Walls)

[photographs and articles selected from the newspapers; 44x44 cm/20x44 cm]

Muri di piombo / Lead Walls proposes an analysis of national and historical identity, through a series of 50 texts and 50 photographs taken at scenes of the terrorist attacks of the "Anni di Piombo" (the period of leftwing terrorism in Italy from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s). The piece recounts this often ignored, or forgotten chapter in Italian history: each photograph is taken at the same time and on the same day that the original terrorist attack took place on.
