Fishermen of Anzio

Every day at three in the morning, the fishing boats of Anzio leave the harbor to begin their usual expedition. Only after eleven or twelve hours do they return, but their workday is far from over: the catch must still be sold, both to the consortium and to passersby along the dock. And even then, there is the maintenance of the boats and fishing nets to take care of before the day can truly end.
