Erg Chebbi, "mare di dune", 2022

45x30cm

August 2022, north-western Sahara desert, Morocco, Erg Chebbi (“mare di dune”).

Legend has it that when a rich family refused hospitality to a poor woman and her son, God buried the entire family under these dunes of sand. The highest dunes reach 150 meters and are formed by the sand carried by the wind. Dozens of travelers, on dromedaries, cross the sea of red sand at sunset like a slow procession.

Born in 1980 in Milan, Italiy, in his everyday life he deals with data analysis, but photography, especially travel photography, is one of his greatest passions. Among his favorite subjects are open spaces, geometries and architecture.

The Cause

The Benedetta D'Intino Center was founded in 1994 from the dream of Cristina Mondadori in memory of her granddaughter Benedetta, who passed away prematurely. Thanks to a multidisciplinary team made up of 20 professionals, every year it assists more than 300 children and young people with severe communication disabilities and psychological distress together with their families.

The Center operates through two sectors of clinical intervention: Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC), which deals with children with complex communication needs and which also includes a specific communication program for autism, and Psychotherapy, which follows children and families who need psychological support to deal with trauma or uncomfortable situations.
