The first monograph by the photographer Antonio Amato. Its 112 images, whose prints were photocopied and then scanned for offset printing, lead us through the punk scene of Genoa in those years and tell of the habits, gestures and attitude of the people who created it. It is a city after the Red Brigades, terrorism and the 1977 Movement, where the street was a space for socialising and workers' demonstrations but also for clashes. Little testimony survives of a scene so lively, with its bands, meeting places and clubs. A rough, frontal body of work, tender, wild and engaging.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
