Massimo Cristaldi: Touch Ground

Immigration to Europe by boat

“Living in Sicily, I could not but be impressed by the size of the migration phenomenon and I got in touch with some immigrants who arrived in 2002, and who are now living among us. I wondered how the ‘ground’ is for those who see it after weeks at sea, those more fortunate than the others. Anthony told me, in an uncertain Italian, “Sea, sea, sea, fear, fear, fear.” Then, finally, a light, a landing. A possible salvation but only for those who are really lucky.” Massimo Cristaldi.
