LIVIO SENIGALLIESI, born in Milano 1956. Self-taught photographer, Senigalliesi begins the carrer at the end of the ‘70s taking pictures of social issues using the camera as a tool for social analysis. In the lastest decades his passion for photography as testimony and the attention to historical events have taken him to many of the world hot spots: the Middle East and Kurdistan during the Gulf War, Berlin in the division and in the reunification times, Moscow during the days of the coup d'état which decreed the end of the Soviet Union, Sarajevo during the siege and all the phases of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia, Palestina, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan. He carried a long term project on the violations of human rights devoting much time to the genocides of the past and present and living long periods in conflict zones in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. He works for the UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) Photo-Desk, for the Italian Cooperation for several Italian and foreign NGOs, documenting the consequenses of the war, the suffering of the civilians and the projects of reconstruction. Author of many books and photo-exhibitions, Senigalliesi published his reportage on the main national and foreign newspapers as Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, L'Europeo, L'Espresso, Epoca, Panorama, Il Manifesto, La Vanguardia, El Pais, Liberation, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Die Welt, Berliner Morgenpost, Stern, Frankfurter Allgemeine, The Guardian, The Indipendent, The European, Time Magazine, National Geographic Magazine. In the last 10 years he has documented migrant routes in the Mediterranean and the condition of refugees in Italy and along the Balkan Route.
