Since the 1990s, a group of residents and activists, known as No TAV, in the Susa Valley in Italy have been resisting the Turin-Lyon high-speed railway project. No TAV generally questions the worthiness, cost, and safety of the project, and deems the new line useless and too expensive. Its realisation, they say, is driven by construction lobbies and corruption. Photograph Matteo Trevisan travelled to the Susa Valley with the intention to narrate the No TAV movement from a different point of view, trying to put people - specifically, the young men and women who are part of this activism - at the centre of his story, illuminating the ties that bind a community caught up in this struggle.
