I Lupi (The Wolves) are a group of 40 to 70-year-old thieves from the North of Italy. The only time they steal is when there's a dense fog that makes everything invisible, including them. They rob houses, banks, jewellers, trucks - anything they can profit from. The video 'I Lupi' was made in collaboration with the Wolves themselves and the artist's father.
