“La Terra di Sotto” is a research and book by photographer Luca Quagliato and journalist Luca Rinaldi across northern Italy and some of the worst cases of pollution in the country. Amidst the illegal trafficking of waste and industrial pollution, the virtuous North is seriously dealing with the environmental and health impacts of the last century’s economic growth. The project thanks to the disciplines of photography, cartography, landscape architecture, and investigative journalism documents stories and interpret data, regarding the multiple environmental criticalities that every day affects the lives of millions of people.
