Luzzara lies along the Po River, and many of the photographs and the com­ments placed around them reflect the life of the river, which is in­escapably the life of the town.
The names of the photographed some­times emerge in their comments, which are juxtaposed with the photographs, as do the names of acquaintances and family mem­bers, descriptions of their work, passing references to politics and hopes, still fresh memories of the war, threads of old gossip and envies.
The residents of Luzzara describe lives in which the most ordinary items are thought of carefully, with a knowl­edge of their cost, but the lack of wealth does not automatically entail shame or meanness.
