Rome and the Romans at the time of Covid 19 seen with a street photography cut of those who shoot for passion and not for profession.

This was the final collective project created by six performers, three women and three men, who during the lighter phases of the lockdown wanted to tell and stop moments of urban life in the Eternal City with their cameras.

Accompanied by an

, finally selected their best shots of which here, in this photogallery there are three for each of them.

"When we began the adventure of this photographic journey along the streets of Rome it was February 2020 - explains Cristina Mura, organizer of the project for Inforidea - Idee in Movimento -. We were not yet aware of what awaited us a few days ago, unaware of to be the avoidant protagonists of an epidemic until now unknown to us, we were preparing to begin this journey in street photography, within one of the advanced courses that we offer to amateur photographers and photography enthusiasts. changed and we found ourselves wandering around, armed with cameras, in the streets in search of ideas, stories that best immortalize the time we are living. Not an easy condition for those who, perhaps novice photographers, are about to compete with street life. But our performers, having abandoned their first shyness, threw themselves into the fray without neglecting the gentle and ethical side of photography.

Despite the objective difficulties we managed to finish the course with the realization of a collective project.

In each of those shots we can see the desire to bring out the desire for normality, continuity and hope that is needed today more than ever.

The contrasts, the fears, the difficulties, the pain that continues to be present today certainly do not cancel out, but perhaps they are mitigated by the desire to hope that everything can change for the better to start over ".
