Venice (Veneto), one shot
In the heart of Venice, San Marco Square. At the exit of the cathedral a beggar. A man or a woman? A pilgrim or a modern slave? Human trafficking? It's raining. She falls on her knees. I hear a deep voice, a sound. An elegy? Look at her shining rain coat. And see her sportive shoes. What about your headache and the pain in your back? What about this world? Tourism as a sort of theater.
