Florence (Firenze) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany, and of the province of Florence. It is the most populated city in Tuscany with 364,779 people in the city itself and 957,949 inhabitants in the greater Firenze area. The majority of the population is white of Mediterranean origin. Italian is the official language. Apart from the steady flow of tourists to admire the city's architecture and art, Florence like most small towns, has not been greatly affected by the movements of people due to globalization. Immigrants in the city number only 6.70% of the people of the greater Firenze area. Of the 64,421 immigrants living in the Firenze area, 27,759 are of European origins other than Italian. The majority are of Albanian, Romanian, and German ethnicities. An increasing Asian population numbers 19,488, mostly recent immigrants of Chinese and Filipino origins. The African population numbers 10,364, of which half are North African Arabs and the other half sub-Saharan blacks. The remaining numbers constitute immigrants from the Americas. Lorenzo and Chira approached me to do the shoot for the city at the Firenza Fiera (Florence Fair) at the end of 2006. The resulting composite faces are typically Northern Italian, their ruddy complexions a reaction to the winter temperatures. Photographers: Lorenzo aka "logu" and Chiara of Digiarte Project
