Neighborhood sickness
Words and Photos: Riccardo Romano
We took a breather from the usual neighborhood, leaving behind the usual spots and wandering around Salento in a beat-up van overloaded with useless stuff and beers.

What better occasion for a nice cold beer, sitting on the same old bench, to chitchat and hype each other up thinking of making a new videopart? Every damn sunday we were out and about to skate and film with Matteo Botti. Cause if the outcome of a video is directly proportional on how it effects your crave to go skate, doing it among friends it’s the craziest combo.
