This selection of pictures, part of my long-term project "Not on the same boat", realized with the support of the National Geographic Society's Covid-19 Emergency Fund for Journalists, has been published on the printed special edition of @perimetro__ Roma, which will be presented today at the @contemporary_cluster gallery in Rome. I will talk about my work with the selected authors and discuss it together with Sebastiano Leddi, publisher and founder of Perimetro, and Giacomo Guidi, founder of Cluster. © Matteo Bastianelli/National Geographic Society's Covid-19 Emergency Fund
Sofia, an Ethiopian migrant living in Massa Carrara, is seen with some relatives and friends taking pictures of the hearse carrying the coffin of her 38-year-old brother Ramadan, who was found dead in front of the Roma Tiburtina railway station, where he used to live along with hundreds of migrants abandoned to their fate and forced to live in the street.

24-year-old Somali refugee Mouna Ali portrayed in the house where she currently lives in Rome. After the closure of the accommodation center in Castelnuovo di Porto, Mouna had no place to go and she was hosted at the home of an Italian citizen for 6 months. Then she found a job and now lives and works as caregiver with a disable woman in the center of Rome. Mouna is studying and working at the same time and she hopes to obtain a permanent residence permit, in order to start a career as a video-maker and interpreter. Like her, thousands of people are waiting to regularize their documents to start living a normal life. © Matteo Bastianelli/National Geographic Society Covid-19 Emergency Fund
Two sanitation workers are seen cleaning the area outside the Roma Tiburtina railway station after the umpteenth eviction of a settlement of over 150 migrants forced to live on the street, even during Italy's lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus.

23-year-old Dani Hrustic is seen during a free medical screening with Doctor Antonella inside the INTERSOS mobile unit at the Opera Don Calabria Institute in the Primavalle district. Dani is originally from Bosnia and Herzegovina but he was abandoned by his family in Italy as a kid and has been living in the street for the past 7 years. Doctor Antonella measured Dani’s body temperature and blood oxygenation, explaining the coronavirus prevention measures and collecting also his personal information to help him get registered by the social work in order to give him access to free meals and more assistance.

A 4 anni di distanza dal terremoto del 24 agosto 2016, ci sono state tante promesse, ma pochi fatti per far rinascere veramente i luoghi distrutti dal sisma nel centro Italia. Ad Amatrice il centro storico è un luogo desertificato. Spogliato anche delle macerie, fa da spartiacque tra il prima e il dopo, perché nulla sarà più lo stesso. Il terremoto ha lasciato segni indelebili nei ricordi delle persone, così come sul paesaggio, in continua mutazione. L'edilizia pubblica è rimasta ferma, impantanata nella burocrazia italiana e la maggior parte delle opere realizzate, come il centro giovanile, il campo sportivo, i centri di aggregazione, il palazzetto, sono state finanziate da donazioni di privati e altri paesi. Nel centro cittadino, dove hanno perso la vita 299 persone, c'è la sensazione di un grande vuoto. Un punto zero. Dalla serie "Amatrice Ground zero", una veduta aerea del paesaggio desertificato in quello che era il centro storico della cittadina, con l’incrocio di due strade ora circondate da transenne, pietre e resti di edifici nella zona rossa di Amatrice, Italia, agosto 2020. © Matteo Bastianelli #amatrice #earthquake #documentaryphotography #drone #aerial #abstract #photooftheday #dontforget #landscapephotography #documentaryphotography #colorphotography #ashes #roadtonowhere #contemporaryphotography #photography #magazine #dji #mavic #fromabove #natgeo #nationalgeographic #streetphotography #picoftheday #amatricegroundzero
