The "bassi" are small houses on the ground floor overlooking the street. Icon of the ancient and eternal misery of the marginalized sections of society in the city, the bassi have an history that originated since the Middle Ages. This book follows it carefully, focusing also on the social, urban and cultural problems that they pose. The story is enriched thanks to the images of the alleys made by the photojournalist Siano.
