Street Cleaner in Bologna
by Scott Barton
Cool morning light spills across the curved terracotta tiles of a Bologna portico, illuminating a street cleaner in a high-visibility vest pausing beside a parked delivery scooter. One white plastic shirt hanger hangs precariously from the scooter’s handlebar, swaying slightly in the damp air, while a stainless steel cup rests on the seat, steam rising faintly into the chill. The scene is anchored by the rhythmic repetition of arches and the rough texture of aged brick walls, with wet pavement reflecting the gray sky. A pigeon hops near a puddle, ignoring the stillness, as the cleaner adjusts a glove, capturing a quiet, lived-in moment of urban routine before the city fully wakes.
