Francesco Fratto, One Light

This series of portraits is taken from a personal investigation about immigration in Italy. These photos depict some refugees temporarily hosted in an immigration shelter, more precisely in a school gym of a town in the North of Italy. Thanks to the solidarity and passion of a group of volunteers and citizens who welcomed and took care about these fifty migrants for nearly two months, the place has become a well-known and helpful example of integration and humanity. However, after that positive experience, the migrants had to move to other locations in order to free the place where they had been put up, as school had to start again. These pictures were taken the night before the members of that multi-ethnic family were divided again and sent to other destinations, without any certainty about their future.
