A view of the Vallo di Diano. In this area, many family-run businesses in the agricultural, agri-food and livestock sectors, are very happy to work with refugees and to pass their knowledge on to them, compensating also for the lack of local labour.

Two of my photos from the project "Not on the same boat", funded by the National Geographic COVID-19 Emergency Fund for Journalists, were selected for "Inside the Curve: Stories from the Pandemic," released by Disney Books. These two pictures taken in Rome were chosen by @insidenatgeo for its "extraordinary collection of stories of the COVID pandemic: from the isolation and devastation of quarantine to the joy of reunion". I am very proud to see my work featured in this incredible book curated by Claudi Carreras and also in the exhibition currently on display at the United Nation headquarter in New York until 2 December 2022. A collective document that mourns our losses from the past three years, but is also filled with the hope that comes from witnessing global communities who care deeply for one another. https://books.disney.com/book/inside-the-curve/ #insidethecurve #natgeo #book #photography #pandemic #reunion #hope #nationalgeographicsociety #insidenatgeo
