All the picture subjects in this series are from Milan near or along the "navigli area". I went to live here in 1977. Even if tightly integrated in the city and partially destroyed in the WW2 it presents a lot of "melting" areas where the new interacts with the old. The old too is undergoing what we could call "Disneylanding" were old themes are either built ex-novo or decorated in heavy supposed to be traditional/vernacular taste.
In geographical term it is a difficult and complex area to study. Cultural layers of at least a couple of millennia nest together.
Actually this series could be a future project but i am better considering it an exercise.
