  Flavia Piola

”Him” is a photographic project born during the Covid-19 lockdown in Italy started March 9th, 2020. During this month, solitude and silence dominated the alleys of Rome, while the romans had to stay home. Since everything started, the days have passed and we have lost track of time. The movement, the possibility of walking has become a privileged need. I am a 27-years-old Italian young woman who doesn’t know what will happen tomorrow, but one thing is certain: I will have the opportunity to go out my home only for him.
