The pictures, printed on large panels and displayed on special structures, will form a kind of art installation bearing witness to how the city experienced and coped with the dramatic period of the lockdown.
Photos are expected to tell the story of the work of doctors, nurses and health personnel engaged on the front lines defending the community, but also stolen shots in many areas that never stopped allowing the city to move forward.
Indeed, the objective of the contest is to document the vital momentum and extraordinary commitment of the Livorno community to courageously face the emergency in every sector; all at work looking beyond, hoping for better times.
