Roma living inside Rome, at Vicolo Savini Gypsy camp. They spend their days dealing with racism, prejudice and the threat of displacement from their homes. These people have since been forcibly removed to a container camp, on the outskirts of Roma; it is called Castel Romano, it is like a concentration camp. Many came to Italy from the Balkans in search of a new life after the violent disintegration of ex-Yugoslavia. Since then they have been evicted and forced to move from one camp to another.
