    Honorable Mention in People / Life Style

The work is about the homeless that live in the country in which I live, Marcon, near Venice. This is a work in progress, that I've started when i was assigned for a photographic work on the 30th year of Banco Alimentare Veneto, an association that collects food for needy people and distributes it to the charity associations in Veneto. Most of the people I met, that are today homeless, they lived once in a flat or a house and had a good job and a family, but something has happened that changed their life forever. Today, what remains of their lives is infinite loneliness.

I'm a Photograpy Passionate, I live near Venice and my favourite subjects are People and Stories. I've started shooting in 2020 moving from Landscape to People when I felt in love with Koudelka's work on Gypsies. I always try to enter in connection with the people i photograph, living with them to reach their intimacy.
