The Tuaregs have been living in the Sahara desert for 20.000 years.
They are some of the last free people on the Earth and for centuries their culture has been passed from father to son through spoken words, the only testimony of the past.
The series shows some life moments of the so called "blue man" and it is a small extract from a work in progress reportage on the Algerian Tuareg.
My origins drive me back to Borgia (Italy), a hill town which looks on to the Ionian sea.
In year 2005 I bought my first Reflex Camera.
In year 2007 after the Degree in Political Science at Universita' di Pisa I moved to Luxembourg, where I had the opportunity to attend some photographic courses held by CIEL (Club Photo des Institutions Europeennes a' Luxembourg).
Since 2009 I have been living in Paris where I attended the photographic specialization courses at the "Centre Jean Verdier - Departement Photographie".
