About Artist

Matteo Placucci

Italian photoreporter, 1983. Over the years he documented migratory flows, social issues, conflicts and relevant events like the recent pandemic. All topics are approached in the way of exploring and documenting the human being in his most intimate and emotional sphere. A special eye is dedicated to the mental health, the leitmotif of his projects since the beginning of his career. “I firmly believe that we are witnesses of our time and it needs to be documented”
