A series of pictures of the city of Chianciano, when it was one of the most crowded Italian thermal places for summer vacations. Hotels, sceneries, people at the spas, a detailed organization behind every welcome place, either small or large, modest or luxurious. For decades, this place represented a source of both employment and incomes for people, and now facing a different approach on body care, with some difficulties trying to retain to be on the market. Some considerations about the small cultural and productive background of an area which was planned to be active only during a short part of the year and now paying such limitations which remained unchanged. Pictures of Chianciano when it was throbbing with a kind of life that more than one generations still remember. Today perhaps the observer would have almost a pathetic gasp before the emptiness of spaces and structures that are no longer used due to the low flow of visitors, ideas and financial resources. This difficult situation expresses the inadequacy of non-union of public decisions and people needs. All this happened because the market rules have not been taken into account or have not been managed properly by people. It is also worth noting that these thoughts should not be related to the temporary convenience of several categories of people, since the basic interest is always an economic interest. This photographic show could provide ideas for further considerations.
