Senegal’s great wealth is the Ocean. Along the Atlantic coast, from the early hours of the day, fishermen begin their activities. I was struck by the rudimentary tools, the primitive and remedied clothing and equipment, the very heavy boats that require hard physical effort and continuous maintenance that, with the addition of materials, makes them Continue Reading
I was with CUAMM doctors for a few days at the hospital in Aber, Uganda. The hospital treats but does not offer services so that patients have to provide, with the help of their families, food, water, cleaning and linen, which become shared tasks, intertwined in the daily life of those who accompany those who Continue Reading
Slow See is a photographic project that explores China through a rarefied and contemplative vision. The images, immersed in a high and enveloping light, suspend time and dissolve the contours of reality, transforming landscapes and symbols into sensory perceptions. Through pastel tones, reflections and subtle details, the images convey the complexity of a country where Continue Reading
Life in the Imraguen villages flows slowly, punctuated by the departures and returns of the fishing boats. In the middle there is the expectation and daily life of the community: a farmer slaughters a sheep according to the traditional Muslim rite; At school, one teacher corrects the children’s homework while the others review the lessons Continue Reading
Rural southern China, far from the tourist routes and for this very reason still deeply authentic. A poor China, light years away from the modernity of the big cities: small villages inhabited mainly by the elderly and children, while the working-age generations move elsewhere in search of opportunities.

It is the great Sicilian summer that is extinguished by its Continue Reading
On the coasts of Zanzibar, the horizon is a relative concept, and time is not marked by the sun, but by the cycles of the moon. It is the lunar force that governs the life of the island, receding the Indian Ocean for hundreds of meters and revealing a liquid plain reminiscent of a white Continue Reading
Yunnan is one of the provinces with the greatest natural, bio- and ethnic diversity in China. I visited the famous Honghe-Hani rice terraces (built on the banks of the Honghе River by the Hani people) in one of the months when they are full of water and especially “photogenic”. But apart from the rice fields, Continue Reading
From January 13 to February 26, 2025, the Kumbh Mela draws nearly 400 million pilgrims to Prayagraj, in India. They converge on the Triveni Sangam, the sacred confluence of the Gange, the Yamuna, and the Saraswati rivers. Before reaching this temporary city of more than 40 square kilometers, connected by floating bridges and vast encampments, Continue Reading
