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.
