Paolo Fusco: Fiori 24h

With his night walks the Roman photographer Paolo Fusco paints the portrait of a sleeping city, dotted with flourished lighthouses.

Hardly anything is open 24h in Rome: a few bars, a few stores, self service gas stations and flower kiosks, a lot of flower kiosks. You can find them everywhere in the city and they never close, opened 365 days a year, 24h a day.

“Their presence has always fascinated me, they seem like sentinels in the quiet roman night, small lighthouses populated by half-asleep immigrant workers. An hint of mystery sorrounds them, but it’s probably just a business model which takes advantage of the immigrant workers’ need to have a place to spend the night.” Paolo Fusco explains.
