SOUNDBITE (Italian), Mohamed Keita, Roma mi piace ma non solo per la terra e i monumenti, piuttosto per via delle persone che ho intorno, che collaborano, con cui condivido lavori, e che mi vogliono anche del bene. Mi trattano con umanit&agrave;, ed &egrave; questo che mi interessa, pi&ugrave; che di guadagnare tanti soldi. (I like Rome, but not only for the city and the monuments. I&rsquo;m rather interested in the life of the people living here, in collaborating with them, knowing that they wish me well. They treat me humanely &ndash; and that&rsquo;s what interests me, much more than just making money)

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Mohamed Keita, Nonno a che pensato che sarei diventato fotografo, ma frequentavo il centro civico e mi hanno dato una macchina usa e getta. Per avere la memoria di quel periodo perch&eacute; ho no passato alcune tappe nella mia vita di cui non conservo alcuna immagine. (I had never thought that one day I would become a photographer, but when I was at the civic centre somebody gave me a disposable camera. I wanted to keep memories from then on, because there are many stages in my life, where I could not keep any image at all.

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Mohamed Keita, Questo collettivo che abbiamo appena creato, dove possiamo lavorare insieme, dove ognuno ha il suo modo di raccontare, dove ogni individuo parte del gruppo ha idee diverse (This collective we just created is an opportunity to work together. Each of us has his own way of telling stories, every member of the group has diverse ideas)

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Mohamed Keita, Lasciare un luogo e andare in un altro che non conosci. &Eacute; come una pianta, quando la pianti in un altro luogo, bisogna mettere un po&rsquo; d&rsquo;acqua prima che cresca. (If you leave one place and you go to another place that you don&rsquo;t know at all&hellip; It&rsquo;s like a plant &ndash; if you replant it in another place, you need to give it a bit of water to make it grow)
