A migrant tries to board a boat of the German NGO Sea-Watch in the Mediterranean Sea on November 6, 2017, after a deadly shipwreck that led the Germans and Libyans to blame one another for a botched rescue. Sea-Watch said their ship was helping migrants on the sinking inflatable boat in international waters off Libya on Monday morning when a Libyan coast guard boat began to simultaneously take migrants onboard causing panic by beating and threatening the passengers, before driving off at high speed with people clinging to the side. Libyans blamed Sea-Watch for the deaths—five, including a child—and said they interrupted the coast guard's rescue work despite their appeals. Fifty-eight migrants were rescued by Sea-Watch.
Some of my work have been exhibited in the PAN-Palazzo Arti Napoli (Italy), Castel dell’ Ovo (Naples, Italy), Biennal of Bibbiena (Italy), Palm Spring Photo Festival (California), Tel Aviv Photo Fair (Israel).
I regularly publishing in the National and International magazines, including Corriere della Sera, Famiglia Cristiana, Il Venerdì di Repubblica, Internazionale, The Guardian, Newsweek, Time, Rolling Stone, New York Daily News.
My researches have been set in Italy, Romania, Tunisia, Egypt, Poland, Ukraine, Greece, Hungary, Serbia, Croatia and France telling stories related to current issues.
