Jemo, Jimo, Jamo and Polverò
The verb “to go” in its most punk version.
Jemo.
Jimo.
Jamo.
Three different ways to say one simple thing: to go. Yet in the Marche, the most everyday verb becomes a journey through the linguistic differences of the territory.
This postcard is born from the WhatYouSay by MarcheLove research on language and local identity: not the classic postcard landscape, but a landscape made of words, shaped by sounds, accents and transformations that change from village to village.
From Ancona to Macerata, from Fermo to Ascoli, the verb “to go” transforms itself:
Jemo. Jimo. Jamo. Gimo. Jite. Gite. Ite. Jiti.
And many more.
A small phonetic anarchy where everyone wants to go, but everyone says it in their own way.
The graphic reinterprets this linguistic chaos as a punk manifesto: a tribute to Marche popular creativity and to the power of words passed down through generations. Because dialect is not a language frozen in the past: it is movement, contamination, energy. It is a sound that travels with those who leave and stays with them like a chorus.
Jemo, Jimo, Jamo and Polverò tells the story of a land made of a thousand voices, where even a simple verb becomes a declaration of identity. A postcard for those who left, those who return, and those who always carry the sound of home with them.
