In the heart of the migrant crisis, the small Italian village of Riace opened its doors to welcome thousands of refugees. Mayor Domenico Lucano saw this as an opportunity not only to help those in need, but also to breathe new life into Riace’s shrinking community.

First shown at the 15th Venice Biennale in 2016, this photography exhibition by Gianfranco Ferraro is an uplifting look at the success of Lucano’s inspiring vision. Ferraro’s vivid photos show the tales of life in the village and the interaction between the native population and migrant communities. This fairy tale-like story serves as an inspiring model for the reception and integration of migrants and refugees.

The exhibition is jointly organized by the Italian Cultural Institute and OSCE as part of the AENEAS project with the support of the Italian 2017 OSCE Chairmanship of the Mediterranean Contact Group.
