  • NAPLES, ITALY - 22 JULY 2019: Antonio Pastore (45, unemployed) poses for a portait in front of the "Sgarrupato", an abandoned church seized by the "Movimento 7 Novembre" community organization in Montesanto, a working class neighborhood in Naples, Italy, on July 22nd 2019.<br />
<br />
Ten years ago, in the midst of the global financial crisis, Antonio Pastore lost the job he had held for two decades, restoring marble statues. He had earned about 1,200 euros per month ($1,349). As orders disappeared, his employer pressured him to agree to work off the books, he says, enabling the company to avoid paying taxes. He refused, and was summarily fired. That was the last time he has held a real job.<br />
<br />
At the Sgarrupato unemployed workers share strategies for how to find work, and how to navigate the bewildering government benefits system.<br />
In Italy, the unemployment rate sits near 10 percent — lower than a year ago, but roughly the same level as in 2012, in the aftermath of a brutal crisis. But many in Naples say the crisis never ended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 26 MAY 2018: Giada Gramanzini, a 29-year-old unemployed university graduate who moved back in with her retired parents, poses for a portrait in her childhood bedroom in Naples, Italy, on May 26th 2018.<br />

<br />
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 />

  • ROME, ITALY - 14 JULY 2022: A display containing at its center the the lidded White on Red pithos decorated with the blinding of Polyphemos (a pithos, or large vessel, is an Etruscan work from the seventh century BCE recently recovered from the Getty Museum) is seen hereat the Museo dell’Arte Salvata, or Museum of Rescued Art, in Rome, Italy, on July 14th 2022.<br />
<br />
The museum’s first exhibit pays tribute to Italy’s crack art theft squad – the Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage – for having returned to Italy thousands of art pieces, effectively thwarting “the black market in archeological artifacts,”<br />
<br />
About 100 pieces – Greco-Roman vases and sculptures and even coins dating from the 7th century B.C.E. to the A.D. 3rd century - are on view at museum, which has been installed in a cavernous hall once part of the Baths of Diocletian and now annexed to the National Roman Museum. They had been seized by the Manhattan district attorney’s office from museums, auction houses and private collectors in the United States on suspicion they had been looted. Last December,  200 pieces were turned over to Italian officials last December, a  handover described as the largest single repatriation of relics from America to Italy.<br />
<br />
Rescued art is a broad term, it turns out, showcasing a myriad of ways in which artworks can be salvaged, from recovering artworks from the rubble of earthquakes and other national disasters, fishing for ancient shipwrecks in the Mediterranean, or restoring fragile masterpieces at the hands of Italy’s expert restorers.

  • CERVETERI, ITALY - 14 JULY 2022: (R-L) The Attic red-figure krater, signed by Euxitheos as potter and by Euphronios as vase painter (510-500 BC), the kylix or drinking cup by Euphronius that the Getty Museum returned to Italy in 1999 after evidence emerged of its murky provenance, and an empty display which expects to allocate a lidded White on Red pithos decorated with the blinding of Polyphemos (a pithos, or large vessel, is an Etruscan work from the seventh century BCE recently recovered from the Getty Museum) are seen here in the Archeological Museum of Cerveteri, once an Etruscan stronghold known as Caere, some 25 kilometers north of Rome, Italy, on July 14th 2022.<br />
<br />
Arguably Italy’s biggest prize in the war against looting antiquities, is a sixth-century B.C.E. red-figure krater, had been looted in 1971 from a Cerveteri tomb and sold a year later to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for $1 million, an unprecedented sum at that time. The Met relinquished the krater in 2006, and after a stint at the Villa Giulia, it is now a permanent addition to Cerveteri’s archaeological museum, along with a kylix or drinking cup also by Euphronius that the Getty Museum returned to Italy in 1999 after evidence emerged of its murky provenance.<br />

  • CIVITAVNOVE MARCHE, ITALY - 28 NOVEMBER 2019: Cesare Catini (81), a former shoemaking entrepreneur, poses for a portrait in Civitanove Marche, Italy, on November 28th 2019. At 12, he left school and began working with his uncle making shoes. In 1961, when Mr. Catini was only 22, he launched his own business, making women’s shoes in a small garage at his home. By the 1980s, they had hired a designer from Milan and were buying advertisements in the Italian edition of Vogue magazine. In 2001, China secured entry to the World Trade Organization, opening markets to its exports.  That year, Italian footwear manufacturers exported 354 million pairs of shoes. By 2018, that number had plunged to 203 million, a drop of more than 40 percent. <br />
Over the same period, China displaced Italy as Germany’s largest source of shoes. By 2017, China was selling $3.7 billion worth of footwear to Germany, according to the World Bank, nearly triple Italy’s sales. Mr. Catini’s sales and production were down by 80 percent by 2005.   He shut it down in 2008, throwing 70 people out of work, unable to compete with China.<br />
<br />
Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around.

As Prato’s factories went dark, people began arriving from China - mostly from the coastal city of Wenzhou, famed for its industriousness - to exploit an opportunity.<br />
They set up sewing machines across the concrete floors and imported fabric from factories in China. They sewed clothes, cannily imitating the styles of Italian fashion brands. They affixed a valuable label to their creations: “Made In Italy”.

For the past four years, Roberta Travaglini has been unable to find a job, forcing her to live off support from her retired parents. She says she will not look for work in the Chinese-owned clothing businesses, because she feels uncomfortable there. But she shops for clothes in the Chinese clothing store across the street from her apartment because she can no longer afford the boutiques downtown. Since losing her job, she has survived by fixing clothes for people in her neighbourhood, using the workshop on the ground floor of her parent’s apartment.“When I was young, it was the Communist party that was protecting the workers, that was protecting our social class. Now, it’s the League that is protecting the people, that goes toward the people’s problems. I see a similarity between the Communist Party and the League.”<br />

<br />
Here they share strategies for how to find work, and how to navigate the bewildering government benefits system.<br />
In Italy, the unemployment rate sits near 10 percent — lower than a year ago, but roughly the same level as in 2012, in the aftermath of a brutal crisis. But many in Naples say the crisis never ended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

<br />
Italy has proved especially vulnerable to China’s emergence as a manufacturing juggernaut, given that many of its artisanal trades -- textiles, leather, shoe-making -- have long been dominated by small, family-run businesses that lacked the scale to compete on price with factories in a nation of 1.4 billion people. <br />
In recent years, four Italian regions that were as late as the 1980s electing Communists and then reliably supported center-left candidates -- Tuscany, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna  -- have swung dramatically to the extreme right. Many working class people say that delineation has it backwards: The left abandoned them, not the other way around. <br />
<br />
Between 2001 and 2011, Prato’s 6,000 textile companies shrunk to 3,000, and those employed by the plants plunged from 40,000 to 19,000, according to Confindustria, the leading Italian industrial trade association. As Prato’s factories went dark, people began arriving from China - mostly from the coastal city of Wenzhou, famed for its industriousness - to exploit an opportunity.<br />
They set up sewing machines across the concrete floors and imported fabric from factories in China. They sewed clothes, cannily imitating the styles of Italian fashion brands. They affixed a valuable label to their creations: “Made In Italy”.

She says she will not look for work in the Chinese-owned clothing businesses, because she feels uncomfortable there. But she shops for clothes in the Chinese clothing store across the street from her apartment because she can no longer afford the boutiques downtown. Since losing her job, she has survived by fixing clothes for people in her neighbourhood, using the workshop on the ground floor of her parent’s apartment.“When I was young, it was the Communist party that was protecting the workers, that was protecting our social class.

Opened in 1895, the plant just outside the regional capital of Bari is run by the grandson of the founder, Francesco Divella. It produces a vast range of pasta that is exported in more than 30 countries. 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.

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.

<br />
Italian companies are deferring expansions and limiting investment rather than risking cash in a time of uncertainty. The public debt remains monumental, running at more than 2 trillion euro ($2.24 trillion), or more than 130 percent of annual economic output. Banks are still stuffed with bad loans — albeit fewer than before — making them reluctant to lend. An economy that has not expanded over the past decade is this year widely expected to again produce no growth.

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.
