The story of a journey that took me from Verona to Lampedusa with stops in Libya, Tunisia, Niger, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Mali.
Retracing the contrary of migrants en route to collect personal life stories.

The project was selected this September 2017 among the finalists of the Festival of Ethic Photography in Lodi, Italy.
Among 2018-2020 I spent these two years living in a village in the Bolivian Amazon where I finally edited a book about my eight years of traveling in Albania and which I am now about to publishing. I am currently working on editing several personal photographic projects.
