Street Cleaning and Conversation: Locals in Narrow Genoa Alley with Scaffolding

A candid and busy black and white street photograph taken in a narrow alley (caruggi) in Genoa, Italy. In the foreground, a bearded man with a shoulder bag walks past the camera. In the mid-ground, an older man in a leather jacket engages in conversation with a young woman holding a broom and dustpan, likely a shop worker or cleaner. The scene is framed by scaffolding and historic buildings, capturing the authentic, working-class atmosphere of the city center.
