COVID-19 OUTBREAK PROJECT

In 2020 Italy faced one of the most critical emergencies since the end of World War II: the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been threatening the world population since the end of last year.

In Italy the virus caused thousands of deaths and the crisis of its health system. In order to avoid contagion, schools, shops and all non-essential production activities closed. Citizens throughout the country were ordered to stay in their homes, despite the economic impact that the lockdown would bring.

As our collective is based in the Northern and Southern epicentres of the coronavirus outbreak, our photographers have documented the critical situation in our country.
