I recently borrowed from the library this amazing book which inspired me for my "On the same boat" project. "Un paese" means "a village" in Italian, the book is about the community of Luzzara, people are portrayed along their own stories and quotes, as a reader, you get a great feel of the life in the village. The stories don't follow any structure or pattern, they are just tales of ordinary life, it sounds like staying sitting in a cafè hearing people's conversations.
I extremely liked this documentary style and I want to do something similar in my book, which will be about the stories of Italians migrated in the UK.
Also the layout of the book works very well and I made some scans:
I really want to re create a similar feeling, but obviously in a completely different context and environment. I am shooting in black and white as well and I will include both people and places related to their stories. It is crucial to understanding the book, the introduction, which provides information about Luzzara and the story behind the project. In my book as well I would like to include a comprehensive introduction and then leave the word to the subjects of the project.
