The story of loneliness, abandonment, and the marginalization of Gianni, known as “1000 Lire.” The story was inspired by the experiences of Luigi, a native of Matera, also known as “Gino 1000 Lire.” The homeless man spent his entire life asking for a thousand lire, even after the arrival of the euro, for cigarettes or a sandwich, but also for attention or affection, especially after his family kicked him out of their home, leaving him to live on the streets.
