An old Photo Shop in Genoa

The old city centre of Genoa is one of the most beatiful places you can find in Italy, also because is a very lively and colourful area fully populated by all kind of people ready to riot against the injustices of a system that impose always more restrictions to the freedom and to the dignity of the individuals.
Recently, I went to to Genoa to visit a couple of exhibitions of which I wrote on "Frammenti di Cultura"; as usual I took a walk in the Prè discrtict, in spite a few people advised me of the danger of that place.

Since the '80s Genova is a city that suffers of the reduction of the exchange of the goods in its harbour; later on also many industries have closed. The overall atmosphere is that of a city in deay because many buildigs were no longer mainteined, but also this environment can be interesting for a pictures hunter.

I don't know much of the photographer shop in these images, but I think it could be closed since a long time.
The font of this photo shop is quite rare to find in nowadays. TG
