  • Herculaneum, Italy - 2 August, 2012: A couple sits on the terrace overlooking the excavation of the archeological site, the new city and Mount Vesuvius in Herculaneum, Italy,  on 2 August, 2012. <br />
<br />
The Herculaneum Conservation Project (HCP) is a public/private initiative launched in 2001 for the conservation and enhancement of the archaeological site of Herculaneum. This ancient Roman city in Italy was destroyed and buried along with Pompeii by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It has a history of excavation dating back to the early eighteenth century.<br />
The project was set up by David W. Packard of the Packard Humanities Institute, together with Pietro Giovanni Guzzo of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei, to take the measures necessary to provide a response to the serious condition of the site after decades of neglect.

  • MESSINA, ITALY - 8 SEPTEMBER 2021: Children chase a rat in one of Messina's slums, in Messina, Italy, on September 8th 2021.<br />
<br />
In 1908, a devastating earthquake struck Messina, a city wedged between pine and eucalyptus forests and the narrow straits separating Sicily from the Italian mainland. About 90 percent of the city collapsed, killing half of the population. From the rubble, authorities built temporary shacks in anticipation of sturdier housing for the displaced. More than a hundred years later, about 6,500 Italians still live in makeshift hovels scattered around the city. After decades of broken promises, salvation appears to be triggered by a more recent disaster: the coronavirus spread across the close quarters of the slums generating a public health alarm that attracted national attention.<br />
<br />
Last May, the government inserted within a covid relief package an allocation of 100 million euros to free Messina from the barracks within three years.<br />
<br />

  • MESSINA, ITALY - 8 SEPTEMBER 2021: Sebastiano De Luca (58), poses for a portrait by the obstructed canal which causes floodings in the slum he lives in, in Messina, Italy, on September 8th 2021. <br />
“I don’t trust anyone anymore,” said Sebastiano De Luca, 58, who lives in a block of shacks amassed between an obstructed canal and the morgue of Messina’s biggest hospital.<br />
<br />
Promising a house was a powerful electoral leverage, and over decades politicians only visited the slums ahead of elections to exchange votes with promises. Mr. De Luca once ran with a local candidate bringing him hundreds votes from the slums on the assurance of distributing houses.<br />
<br />
“He made a fool of me,” he said on a recent morning, after he had spent the night barefoot under the rain, freeing the canal from trash bags and waste to keep his street from flooding.<br />
<br />
In 1908, a devastating earthquake struck Messina, a city wedged between pine and eucalyptus forests and the narrow straits separating Sicily from the Italian mainland. About 90 percent of the city collapsed, killing half of the population. From the rubble, authorities built temporary shacks in anticipation of sturdier housing for the displaced. More than a hundred years later, about 6,500 Italians still live in makeshift hovels scattered around the city. After decades of broken promises, salvation appears to be triggered by a more recent disaster: the coronavirus spread across the close quarters of the slums generating a public health alarm that attracted national attention.<br />

Peppino is the typical restaurant of the Neapolitan residents living  around the central station of Naples. Avellinese is not a surname; it was the nickname of Peppino (Giuseppe) Cipriano. He was called Avellinese because he came from Avellino, a city in the interior of the region. When Peppino he arrived in Naples in 1928, his inspired his Neapolitan trattoria to the characteristics of Avellino cuisine. "The will to propose the simple things of gastronomy was the inspiring principle of our father; and we, after almost a hundred years from the foundation, continue to keep the trattoria's mission intact", says Carmela, the daughter of Peppino, one of the three brothers who runs the restaurant.<br />
Since the 1980s his three children - Salvatore (56), Carmela (55), and Tina (52) - keep the restaurant open every day of the week.

In 1908, a devastating earthquake struck Messina, a city wedged between pine and eucalyptus forests and the narrow straits separating Sicily from the Italian mainland. About 90 percent of the city collapsed, killing half of the population. From the rubble, authorities built temporary shacks in anticipation of sturdier housing for the displaced. More than a hundred years later, about 6,500 Italians still live in makeshift hovels scattered around the city. After decades of broken promises, salvation appears to be triggered by a more recent disaster: the coronavirus spread across the close quarters of the slums generating a public health alarm that attracted national attention.<br />
<br />
Last May, the government inserted within a covid relief package an allocation of 100 million euros to free Messina from the barracks within three years.<br />
<br />
In the humid huts, built in large part with asbestos, residents suffer from high rates of cancer, asthma and pneumonia and on average live seven years less than the rest of the population, according to the local Community Foundation.

  • MESSINA, ITALY - 8 SEPTEMBER 2021: Sebastiano De Luca (58), who lives in one of Messina's slums, is seen here next to his shack in Messina, Italy, on September 8th 2021. “I don’t trust anyone anymore,” said Sebastiano De Luca, 58, who lives in a block of shacks amassed between an obstructed canal and the morgue of Messina’s biggest hospital.<br />
<br />
Promising a house was a powerful electoral leverage, and over decades politicians only visited the slums ahead of elections to exchange votes with promises. Mr. De Luca once ran with a local candidate bringing him hundreds votes from the slums on the assurance of distributing houses.<br />
<br />
“He made a fool of me,” he said on a recent morning, after he had spent the night barefoot under the rain, freeing the canal from trash bags and waste to keep his street from flooding.<br />
