Million Dollar Squatters

Here's the latest project born from yet another collaboration with photojournalist Alex Masi, a multimedia slideshow about squatting in London, UK.

Between June and November 2007, we followed a group of squatters with a penchant for mansions worth millions of pounds. In just over five months they occupied three different homes in one of the most exclusive areas of London, Hampstead Garden Suburb, in the north west of the capital.

During one of their incursions they found themselves sleeping in the lavishness previously enjoyed by former Indonesian president Haji Mohamed Suharto....watch the video to see how it worked out.

Con Buddha nell'astuccio - D, La Repubblica delle donne

Dharma is an ancient Indian spiritual concept that signifies the underlying order present in nature and life.

Dharma is also a private faith school that provides alternative education situated in the balmy seaside resort of Brighton, in the south east of England.


Inspired by, and informed with, principles of compassion and non-confrontation, its curriculum has encountered immediate success among progressive-thinking parents and their children since it opened to business in the late 1990s.



Mind you, not everybody here is a practicing Buddhist.

What has appealed to hundreds in the course of just a few years is the school's commitment to providing the kids with a high standard of well-being and creative stimuli.

This story has so far been published only in Italian on D, the weekend supplement of leading daily newspaper La Repubblica.

An English version can be provided on request, and pictures and text are available to be syndicated separately.

Education, not proselytism;
Spirituality, not religion;
Acceptance, not confrontation.

Dharma school motto.

Press Gazette UK - NUJ centennary special issue

These are few of the interviews I made with young and old(er) members of the NUJ, which this year is celebrating its 100th birthday.

It was touching and fascinating to speak to individuals that have played such an important part — well, at least some of them — in the history of the union.

All extremely nice people these union workers, more often than not I would find myself just amicably chatting with them at the end of the interview.
