Writer Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer knows the port city of Genoa like the back of his hand. He is the perfect guide through the alleys of the city, now a staging point for a colorful procession of fortune seekers who, legally or not, try to build a new life in the promised land of Europe. In the labyrinthine medieval center of the Italian port city of Genoa lies the eight hundred meter long street Via di Prè. A once typical Genovese street that has been changed in recent years by migration. Pfeijffer speaks with the inhabitants of the street and shows how Italy is changing politically, socially and economically with all those newcomers whose roots lie elsewhere.
