This visual journey traces the double life of souvenirs – as mass-produced trinkets and hand crafted treasures – through snapshots and field observations. From generic fridge magnets in Turin to signed ceramics in Sciacca, from Vespa-themed kitsch to traditional Sardinian nativity figurines, the reportage shows how these objects negotiate memory, identity and sustainability in a globalised market. Museum shops and airport 'non-places' reveal the paradox of souvenirs: standardised but personal, commercial but cultural. Through contrasting examples, the lens explores how even traditional crafts adapt to industrial aesthetics, reflecting tourism’s demand for portable authenticity. A reflection on objects that are both personal mementos and products of wider economic systems.
