ITALIAN CRUISE-SHIPS
Pherhaps it is not well known that the majority of cruise ships are built in Italy. Huge boats that plough the oceans' waves, transatlantics that can comfortably carry thousands of passengers: they are means of transport, but true, floating mega-hotels at the same time. They host numerous restourants, casinos, swimming-pools, theaters and discos. Their hulls are as long as three football grounds put together, their power is equal to 5000 sedan's engines, they could transport - crew and passengers - the the population of a small town...
This photographical essay wants to discover what building a modern cruise ship means.
This work has been realized with the collaboration of Fincantieri S.P.A. - Sea Architectures.
