This is a project I have been selected to be part in 2014 about documenting children facing Spinal Muscular Athropy (SMA) with Wamba Onlus.
At the time there were only 5 specialised centres in Italy (Milan, Genoa, Rome, Messina and Palermo); this means that most of the families had to face long trips in order to reach one of these centres, thus lot of complications and costs.
Wamba Onlus' goal is to change this situation and make support more reachable and life easier for families, also through organised holidays such this one.
I have spent a week with the children and their families in Lignano Sabbiadoro, living and looking through the lens of my camera their summer holiday.
Their strength is definitely the thing that mostly impressed me.
This body of work can be considered my first documentary project
