Lithium in Bolivia by Fabio Cuttica on L' Espresso
Monday, 27 April 2009
50% of exploitable reserves of lithium are located in Bolivia, in the drained salt lakes (salar) among the Ande, in particular in the secluded Salar de Uyuni (in the South-Western of Bolivian upland), the hugest salt expanse in the world, set at 3,650 metres of altitude. An high environmental protection area, considered one of the most important tourist attractions in the world, but also one of the poorest and isolated of the country. President Mr. Evo Morales has launched a plan for the extraction of lithium, that is a soft alkali metal found in rocks and sea water. Lithium carbonate is used in batteries of laptop computers and mobile phones because it allows more energy to be stored in a lighter, smaller space than most alternatives.  Also the auto industry is beginning to look to lithium batteries to power new models of hybrid cars.
The reportage shot by Fabio Cuttica and the text by Diletta Varlese have been published on L'Espresso.

Sierra Leone by Riccardo Venturi on Internazionale
Wednesday, 22 April 2009
The right to health care represents one of the basic rights and it acknowledges human dignity. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations in 1948, in fact, proclaimed that “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of oneself and one’s family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care.” The aim of the welfare is to warrant basic rights to all citizens, so they can benefit from them and defend the weak and the outcasts. Yet in Sierra Leone the right to health care is either a luxury just for those who can pay expensive private clinics or a privilege for those assisted by humanitarian organizations. 
The reportage, shot by Riccardo Venturi in collaboration with Emergency, has been published on Internazionale.

Deported by Alessandro Cosmelli on Internazionale
Monday, 06 April 2009
The following body of work is a series of portraits of recently deported migrants taken on December 2008 in Nogales, Mexico, and the result of a few nights spent waiting for the buses to come at the port of entry to leave their load of people. The night, the darkness and the paradoxical violence of a deep silence precede the arrival of groups of migrants without anything left to lose. A backpack, a hat, a worn out jacket and shoes is what remains of their belongings. And with extreme dignity some of them have accepted to stand in front of the camera for a close-up look into the tragedy of deportation through the faces of the people taking their first step back to the place they are trying to escape from. All of them with one thing in common, a broken American dream. Alessandro Cosmelli's reportage has been published on Internazionale.
