I am very versatile and can easily adapt to all situations, from the simplest to the most extreme. I like to measure myself with work that could help me to learn new things, growing professionally and having constant contact with people. During my many trips in the Ukrainian areas of Donbass and Lugansk I learned self-control and safety of myself in really extreme situations. Upon request I also register and edit videos. I am interested in collaborations with magazines newspapers both in print and on the web and any collaboration that could represent a moment of professional growth within the photo/video. I'm available in collaboration with N.G.O. and humanitarian associations, with proven reliability and public and clear budget.

The aftermath of Qayyara
Al Qayyarah
13 Jan 2017
Qayyara is a village in the Nineveh plain near the Tigris river, by the Allied forces after two years under the I.S. During the escape the Islamic State, to slow the advance of the Allied forces, has burned about a dozen oil wells on the road. The advance of international forces was it slowed (but not much), and many people now have strong respiratory problems, problems that are even more worrisome because the local hospital have no oxygen cylinders. The city is more or less intact, the local sports hall is used by some unemployed as a mine for the extraction of bricks to be sold to those who can rebuild their homes, but in the periphery, where there was a brutal fight. In the suburb there's huge mass of ruins, in what is apparently a waste dump there are the graves of I.S., nameless corpses, buried under kg of waste which slowly resurface every time a stray dog goes in search of something to eat. A big International N.G.O. denied me to visit their building and documenting their activities because, despite I had a press card, they didn't recognize on me as "independent journalist" and they said that these people don't want to be photographed, the only thing that I could see live of their activities it is a simple distribution of drinking water. A young guy who speak English said me that I.S. punished him at the feet because he don't had the beard, the only activity that the Qayyaran people done in these years was stay at their homes. Slowly, despite the myriad problems of the population, the smile is coming back slowly on their mouths, the return to normality passes through the school but also through the children ran at the vehicles of foreign journalists. Around the only toy in the hands of children is toy weapons, Chinese plastic replicas of M16 with the red cap embraced with familiarity, like the adults. Lot of people say that the war against Daesh is just the appetizer of that war will come later, the war of vengeance tribal and territorial claims. Local teachers decided to restart the school as soon as possible, the first day of school, after two years under Daesh, were so many children with their few things, that the building cannot contain them all. The opening of the school is a strong signal but despite that, early school leaving it's still strong.
Gagjali, a Hospital on the Frontline
Mosul
13 Jan 2017
The village of Gagjali (or Godjalih) in Iraq is a suburb of Mosul, awfully close to the front line. Equally inhabited by Arabs and Kurds, both ethnic groups lived in peace until the arrival of Daesh. Every day arriving there, by foot or by some fortune vehicles, many families fleeing war directed towards the nearby refugee camps, stopping for a short rest. In the village, there is also a small hospital run by American volunteers of a Slovak N.G.O., Academy of Emergency Medicines, young guys which provide first aid services to those in need: civilian and military alike. Their work is terrible and grueling; the hospital is nothing more than an abandoned house. Often the first-aid workers must work without proper supplies, in particular, the lack of blood for transfusions. Lack of blood is the main reason for deaths in the hospital. A.E.M. is a small N.G.O. with few resources and they don't have a refrigerator where to store blood, once the injured begin to bleed it is over. Children are the hardest patients to treat because of their low threshold of pain that makes them move all the time and for their physical frailty. Once rescued, people are transported by ambulance to the nearest available and better-equipped hospital. The local economy is almost nonexistent, just a shepherd and a young boy who sells tea and snacks to foreign journalists.

This year the most representative symbol of the event is for sure the bulldozer, the party secretary Matteo Salvini has repeatedly more time that should be used bulldozers to resolve once and for all the issue of Roma camps and his statements had very much controversy in Italy. Matteo Salvini also expressed words of appreciation for the policy of closing borders by France in the refugee issue, stating that it should be hard fist even Italy.
