"Proud To Be" is a photographic project created by Riccardo Riande and Sonia Serafini. The intent is to make protagonists 22 Italian guys, aged 20 to 30, who represent the best Italy, they don't give up in front of lack of work, with a future more and more precarious. They are guys that with their ability, will and courage have created or are trying to create their own working stable reality. It's a positive message for a country where the pessimism and negativity are now the masters. We are proud of being young, being Italian and being workers.
