“I think I know Brussels quite well, but as an Italian I also feel like I am an outsider. Making pictures for the press allows you to move quickly through the city and see a lot, but often I don’t have the time to capture it. Up and down, right and left, we are all just passing by. Sometimes I feel attached to some street corners or human flows. Then I stop, look, and photograph how things and people, just like me, move. I arrived at the conclusion that we are all part of the city.”
