For a year, Jacopo Brancati shared the life of the workers of the port of Genoa, one of the largest in the Mediterranean. His photo-reportage represents a stunning witness of the activities and atmosphere so peculiar to this «town within the town» where by all weather, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, men guide and assist the over 20.000 ships yearly entering the harbour of Genoa

La Casana n°2 - 2011
On occasion of the bicentenary of her birth, Jacopo Brancati and Sonia Olcese published two articles about Maria Brignole Sale, Duchess of Galliera.
Texts by Sonia Olcese
Photos by Jacopo Brancati
Maria Brignole Sale and her husband, Raffaele de Ferrari, represent a stunning example of 19th century philanthropy.
Both descendants of the ancient Genoese aristocracy, outstanding protagonists of French finance and brilliant members of the Parisian high society, they devote the almost totality of their fabulous riches to the public welfare.
A series of generous donations begun with the renewal of the harbour of Genoa, will continue with the construction of hospitals and orphanages, the donation of family palaces and art collections to become public museums in Genoa and in Paris. At her death in 1889 Maria Brignole Sale leaves her magnificent Parisian residence, Hôtel de Matignon, to the Austrian Embassy. After WW1 it will become the French Prime Minister’s residence
