Neapolitan barber offers free haircuts for homeless people.
His name is C1rO, in honor of the shirt and name of Diego Armando MaradonaBut this encrypted name is not enough to hide one's identity. The anonymous barber, who recalls a colleague of his that we told about from New York, has a hood that completely hides his face and makes him unrecognizable. During his volunteer work, C1rO listens very attentively to the stories of the people whose hair he cuts. A veritable gallery of struggling humanity. The young drug addict, the homeless, the chronically unemployed, the illegal immigrant. For everyone, the masked barber not only has scissors, but also a precious word of comfort.
