I move from Monza to Milan to go to the office along about 20 kilometers every day.
Trains and stations have always fascinated me and the train is the means of transport that I chose for my suburban transfers because it is not as stressful as the car, is quite cheap and because I am in companion of many other people like me chose this way to travel.
Commuting to work each day can be a challenging experience and daily I meet hundreds of people, pledged at the same times and same trains.
It's interesting to distinguish how each of us spends these moments differently during the travel: there's who sleeps recovering energy, who reads a book, who is looking forward to the arrival, who divulges his or her feelings in front of a friend but above all, and here it is clear the cultural change occurred in recent years, there's who prefers alienating from it all using their smartphone.
The photograpy raises the curiosity that each of us possesses to a higher level, making the photographer able to analyse the subject even before shooting. I have spent many of these trips between Monza and Milan to better understand these elements of humanity among the passengers: facial and body expressions, interactions between people, style and good or bad habits.
This collection of photos and humanity is constantly in progress at least as long as my work will continue to take me away from Monza.
