  • NAPLES, ITALY - 9 NOVEMBER 2018: Lucia Messina (58, center), an unemployed citizen,  registers to the Eastern Naples Job Center, accompanied by his mother, in Naples, Italy, on November 9th 2018.<br />
"I want to sign-up because I'm looking for a job, but also for the "citizens' wage"", she said.<br />
<br />
Italy’s 550 state-run job centers will be in charge of verifying that recipients of the “citizens’ wage”, a welfare policy championed by the governing 5-Star Movement designed to lift 5 million Italian out of poverty, meet an important eligibility criteria: that they are actively looking for a job.<br />
But Italians widely regard the centers as being blighted by obsolete technology and insufficient and under-qualified staff. The new populist government plans to spend 1 billion euros to modernize the centers — 10 percent of the total cost of the new policy in its first year in 2019. <br />
<br />
The “citizens’ wage” will cost 10 billion euros next year, the most expensive item in a big-spending budget which itself has raised concerns in the European Union that Italy could be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis.

Giada Gramanzini hasn’t found a job since deciding last year not to renew a three-month contract as a fulltime receptionist that paid her 400 euros a month, or about $2.80 an hour. She sent out about 70 resumes in the past six months in search of a job where she can put her degree in foreign languages to work.<br />
<br />
The Italian economy last year grew at its fastest rate since 2010, but the improvement hasn’t trickled down to millions of people in their 20s and 30s, leaving a yawning generation gap with their baby boomer parents.<br />

<br />
The banner on the left says: "No health, no job? No vote".<br />
<br />
Taranto, a  formerly lovely town on the Ionian Sea has for the last several decades been dominated by the ILVA steel mill, the largest steel plant in Europe. It was built by the government in the 1960s as a means of delivering jobs to the economically depressed south, but has been implicated for a cancer as dioxin and mercury have seeped into local groundwater, tainting the food supply, while poisoning the bay and its once-lucrative mussels.

<br />
Luca Greco has worked occasionally in call centers for a minimum salary, but hasn't had a job since 2013. His 65 years-old father is unemployed  since 2003 and his mother works as a care-giver. He lives with his parents and 13 years-old brother. "I  absolutely don't see a future in Taranto or in Italy. If I leave Tamburi, I will leave the country. I see a dark, tragic future". When asked who he will vote in the upcoming Italian General Elections, Luca said: "You could still make a distinction between the political parties in the 1960's. They're all the same. The Five Stars Movement is the new thing. One could vote them to give them a chance. But I won't".<br />

  • TARANTO, ITALY - 22 FEBRUARY 2018: Luca Greco, an unemployed 30-years old living with his parents in Tamburi, the working-class district adjacent the ILVA steel mill, poses for a portrait, in Taranto, Italy, on February 22nd 2018.<br />
<br />
Luca Greco has worked occasionally in call centers for a minimum salary, but hasn't had a job since 2013. His 65 years-old father is unemployed  since 2003 and his mother works as a care-giver. He lives with his parents and 13 years-old brother. "I  absolutely don't see a future in Taranto or in Italy. If I leave Tamburi, I will leave the country. I see a dark, tragic future". When asked who he will vote in the upcoming Italian General Elections, Luca said: "You could still make a distinction between the political parties in the 1960's. They're all the same. The Five Stars Movement is the new thing. One could vote them to give them a chance. But I won't".<br />
<br />
Taranto, a  formerly lovely town on the Ionian Sea has for the last several decades been dominated by the ILVA steel mill, the largest steel plant in Europe. It was built by the government in the 1960s as a means of delivering jobs to the economically depressed south, but has been implicated for a cancer as dioxin and mercury have seeped into local groundwater, tainting the food supply, while poisoning the bay and its once-lucrative mussels.

Opened in 1895, the plant just outside the regional capital of Bari is run by the grandson of the founder, Francesco Divella. Divella has exports grow substantially and is a prime example of the success of the region in recent years. Yet this has led to very few jobs, given that the plant is highly automated, with more on the way: they just bought a self-driving forklift to handle warehouse work and have already deployed robotic arms that place product into boxes. Divella is an example of how Italy's recent success is not lifting enough people to make a difference in sentiment.

  • TARANTO, ITALY - 22 FEBRUARY 2018: The concrete flats of Tamburi, the working-class district adjacent to the ILVA steel mill, are seen here in Taranto, Italy, on February 22nd 2018.<br />
<br />
Taranto, a  formerly lovely town on the Ionian Sea has for the last several decades been dominated by the ILVA steel mill, the largest steel plant in Europe. It was built by the government in the 1960s as a means of delivering jobs to the economically depressed south, but has been implicated for a cancer as dioxin and mercury have seeped into local groundwater, tainting the food supply, while poisoning the bay and its once-lucrative mussels.
