A life’s work - Piero Martinello

This series showcases traditional craftsmen from North Eastern Italy, a region that is among the wealthiest and most industrialised regions in Italy today. Life-worn faces, including those of a painter, a steel worker and a fisherman, reflect individual stories, as well as the plight of the traditional workman in an era of industrial automation.
