  • REGGIO CALABRIA, ITALY - 15 NOVEMBER 2016: Roberto Di Bella, the President of the Court for Minors of Reggio Calabria who started a program limiting or suspending parental responsability for incriminated families of the ‘Ndrangheta (the organized crime centered in the Souther Italian region of Calabria), poses for a portrait in his office in Reggio Calabria, Italy, on November 15th 2016.<br />
<br />
Since 2012, judges from Reggio Calabria court for minors have started a program limiting or suspending parental responsibility for incriminated families, moving children to a different Italian region and trying to create the conditions for an ordinary childhood there. Once they turn 18, they can choose whether to go back to Calabria or not.<br />
<br />
When evidence shows that children are physically or psychologically endangered by their families’ Mafioso behavior, judges apply the same legislation used in Italy against abusive parents to parents from the ‘Ndrangheta.<br />
<br />
So far, the program has involved more than 40 minors, boys and girls aged 12 to 16, and out of those who have already returned to their lives, none has committed a crime.<br />
<br />
Calabria has a very high criminal concentration. Since the early 1990s, Reggio Calabria juvenile court sentenced about 100 minors for mafia association and 50 for murder—or attempted murder.<br />
<br />
After years of work with Mr. Di Bella and other prosecutors, the Justice Ministry is now ready to standardize the procedure. Once local authorities sign the protocol, it'll become effective.<br />
<br />
“Sons follow their fathers,” he said. “But the state can’t allow that children are educated to be criminals.”<br />
<br />
In his project, Mr. Di Bella hoped to see the “future of the fight against mafias,” he said.<br />
<br />
But he admitted that the project is now based on his judges’ work and on volunteers who lend their professional skills almost for free.<br />

  • REGGIO CALABRIA, ITALY - 15 NOVEMBER 2016: Enrico Interdonato, a 32-year old volunteer psychologist and founding member of the anti-racket association Addio Pizzo in Messina, the Sicilian town across the strait from Reggio Calabria, poses for a portrait in Reggio Calabria, Italy, on November 15th 2016.<br />
<br />
In 2013, after a decade-long work with street boys, Mr. Interdonato started tutoring a 15-year old boy who came from an ‘Ndrangheta family. They spent time together in the disco and with other young men and women in the city, and later also with associations and mafia victims’ families, elaborating together the real impact of reckless criminal actions.<br />
<br />
We are a bit like David against Golia,” he said referring to the two judges on juvenile cases in the city with the highest criminal concentration in Italy.<br />
“But the ’Ndrangheta infiltrates our community and we try to infiltrate them culturally, making their children free to choose,” he said.<br />
<br />
Since 2012, judges from Reggio Calabria court for minors have started a program limiting or suspending parental responsibility for incriminated families, moving children to a different Italian region and trying to create the conditions for an ordinary childhood there. Once they turn 18, they can choose whether to go back to Calabria or not.<br />
<br />
When evidence shows that children are physically or psychologically endangered by their families’ Mafioso behavior, judges apply the same legislation used in Italy against abusive parents to parents from the ‘Ndrangheta.<br />

Dupont Court is the area of Brookville with the most impressive residences of the village. The Gold Coast village of Brookville is the wealthiest community in the United States, according to a survey published Wednesday by BusinessWeek magazine.<br />
<br />
Brookville was one of nine Long Island communities to make the magazine's list of the country's 25 wealthiest towns, based on research by the Gadberry Group, of Little Rock, Ark.<br />
<br />
The village's mayor, Caroline Zimmermann Bazzini, said Brookville residents likely felt the pain of recession much less than most other folks.<br />
<br />
Brookville residents had the highest average net worth of any town on the list: $1.67 million. The enclave's well-to-do denizens had an average annual income of $328,000, ranking it seventh on the list.<br />

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 20 FEBRUARY 2020: Raffaelle Cardillo (70, right) - founder and chef of the Ristorantino dell'Avvocato (The Lawyer's Resturant) - chats with a customer in his restaurant in Naples, Italy, on February 20th 2020.<br />
<br />
After 20 years spent working as a lawyer, shuttling between courts and meetings with defendants, and puzzling over lawsuits and problems to unravel, Raffaele Cardillo decided to give up his law career and transform his passion – cooking – into a real job. Spending his evenings at the stove was a favorite pastime, the way he relaxed after a long day in court.<br />
<br />
In 2000, Raffaele opened a restaurant named Il Castagno in Camaldoli, a suburb of Naples; it quickly became a destination for lovers of Neapolitan gastronomy. He ran it together with his wife, Alda, and his son, Gabriele.<br />
<br />
Then in 2011, life offered him a new opportunity: to open a restaurant in Naples’ Santa Lucia district, a maritime area whose beauty has inspired numerous artists, poets and painters. And so Il Ristorantino dell’Avvocato, an elegant and intimate spot, was born.

Spending his evenings at the stove was a favorite pastime, the way he relaxed after a long day in court.<br />
<br />
In 2000, Raffaele opened a restaurant named Il Castagno in Camaldoli, a suburb of Naples; it quickly became a destination for lovers of Neapolitan gastronomy. He ran it together with his wife, Alda, and his son, Gabriele.<br />
<br />
Then in 2011, life offered him a new opportunity: to open a restaurant in Naples’ Santa Lucia district, a maritime area whose beauty has inspired numerous artists, poets and painters. And so Il Ristorantino dell’Avvocato, an elegant and intimate spot, was born.

  • SIRACUSA, ITALY - 22 SEPTEMBER 2016: Objects such as maps, flags,  compasses and personal belongings of migrants recovered from smugglers' boats are stored here in a deposit of the Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C., by its Italian acronym) in the Court House of Siracusa, Italy, on September 22nd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C.) assigned policeman Angelo Milazzo the identification of 24 victims of the August 24th 2014 shipwreck<br />
<br />
On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.

  • SIRACUSA, ITALY - 22 SEPTEMBER 2016: Folders and files of investigations related to illegal landing of migrant boats in Sicily from 2011 to 2016 are stored here in the office of the Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C., by its Italian acronym) in the Court House of Siracusa, Italy, on September 22nd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C.) assigned policeman Angelo Milazzo the identification of 24 victims of the August 24th 2014 shipwreck<br />
<br />
On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.

  • SIRACUSA, ITALY - 21 SEPTEMBER 2016: Angelo Milazzo (57), a local policeman in Siracusa formerly working in the Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C., by its Italian acronym) who was assigned to identify the 24 victims of the August 24th 2014 shipwreck, poses for a portrait in his office here in the Court House of Siracusa, Italy, on September 21st 2016.<br />

<br />
Milazzo asked the public prosecutor for permission to open a Facebook profile under the name “SIRIA-GICIC.”  Relying on the descriptions of the bodies contained in the forensic reports, the photos taken on board the rescue ships and during the examinations, and on the collection of personal items that were found along with the corpses, he would work backwards from these slivers to try to arrive at the living people who once animated the now anonymous cadavers. Facebook, he hoped, would help him get the information he needed from the families of the missing to identify the bodies and allow him to inform their relatives of the death.<br />
<br />
The SIRIA-GICIC profile page on Facebook was created on October 10th, 2014, nearly two months after the shipwreck. At the time, 18 of the 24 bodies were still unidentified. Within a few months, Angelo Milazzo was able to identify all 24 bodies.<br />

  • VENICE, ITALY - 4 JUNE 2016: Visitors walk through the Evidence Room, between the "design workshop : sa" exhibit room (seen here) and Souto Moura Arquitectos exhibit room at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale in Venice, Italy, on June 4th 2016.<br />
<br />
The Evidence Room exhibition, presented by the University of Waterloo lead by Canadian scholar Robert Jan Van Pelt and, is a reconstruction of key architectural elements of Auschwitz that disproved the Holocaust denier David Irving who had sued American scholar Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher for libel.  In her 1994 book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, Lipstadt counted Irving among Hitler apologists and revisionists seeking to downplay the scale of the Holocaust and the systematic murder of six million European Jews. <br />
<br />
Robert Jan van Pelt served as the expert witness in the trial, and his report became one of the sources of inspiration for the new discipline of architectural forensics, which is located at the intersection of architecture, technology, history, law and human rights.<br />
<br />
The exhibition, which force us to examine architecture used for evil – and designed by architects complicit in crimes against humanity, reconstructs some of those forensic details, including full-scale models of a gas column, a gas door, and a wall section with gas-tight hatch – all of which were shown in court to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Auschwitz was, as Van Pelt says, “a purposefully designed factory of death, equipped with large, homicidal gas chambers and massive incinerators.”

<br />
Borgo Egnazia, modeled after a 15th century Apulian village, rolls out over 250 acres on a plot of land originally razed by Mussolini and intended as an air force base, ending nearing the Adriatic. Aldo Melpignano, the 40 years old owner, has pioneered a hospitality company that has managed to seize on the hype surrounding wellness and authentic experiences at once. His company, SD Hotels, turns Puglia’s traditional farmhouses into resorts that focus on fitness (Apulian folk dance classes in 400 year old olive groves) and otherworldly spa treatments (one massage uses “vibrational water”) in addition to traditional Italian fare (milk serum, handmade orecchiette pasta, octopus in a broth of just-plucked tomatoes). <br />

Borgo Egnazia is the largest of his five properties, with three public pools, a village square out of central casting, and nearly 200 rooms.  Celebrities like Madonna have been won over by Borgo Egnazia’s faux Medieval facades and farmhouse chic interiors, an effect best described as “Game of Thrones” meets Restoration Hardware. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel got married here in 2012. SD Hotels, which last year saw revenues of $57 million, started with his family’s summer home, Masseria San Domenico, a few miles down the road from Borgo Egnazia.

  • SIRACUSA, ITALY - 22 SEPTEMBER 2016: Folders and files of investigations related to illegal landing of migrant boats in Sicily from 2011 to 2016 are stored here in the office of the Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C., by its Italian acronym) in the Court House of Siracusa, Italy, on September 22nd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C.) assigned policeman Angelo Milazzo the identification of 24 victims of the August 24th 2014 shipwreck<br />
<br />
On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.

  • SIRACUSA, ITALY - 22 SEPTEMBER 2016: A ring belonging to Victim #22 of the August 24th shipwreck is seen here in the office of the Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C., by its Italian acronym) in the Court House of Siracusa, Italy, on September 22nd 2016.<br />
<br />
The Interagency Task Force for Combating Illegal Migration (or G.I.C.I.C.) assigned policeman Angelo Milazzo the identification of 24 victims of the August 24th 2014 shipwreck<br />
<br />
On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.
