This photograph of a Roma woman is part of my long-term project on the Roma people living in camps on the outskirts of the city of Rome.The project began in 1999 and I continue it today, photographing entire generations. It unfolds both in the old refugee camps, where people lived in extreme conditions, without water or electricity, and in the new, legally authorized camps, where different ethnic and religious groups coexist.
