The Big Ghetto (2013-2015).
Rignano’s ghetto, called The Big Ghetto, is a slum located in the countryside of Foggia in Apulia. About a thousand Africans resident in Italy – most of them coming from french-speaking african countries – spend part of the year here in search of seasonal work in the rural south, mainly for the tomato’s industry. Each year, workers return to the ghetto where sanitary conditions are inadequate and where is increasingly difficult to find work. Paid approximately three euro per hour they are forced to live in poverty.
