Francesco Francaviglia, Sicilian photographer, was born in 1982. In autumn 2014 his work “The Fasting Women – against mafia" was the first photography solo exhibition hosted by the prestigious Uffizi Gallery. In the same year he published his first photograph book, received the mention as the best photographic project on Sicily from Ragusa Photo Festival and FIAF first prize Portfolio Italia as best photographic work. In 2014 he was invited to participate in the XIII International Festival of Photography edition in Rome with his work “Poets from the dark #1”. In 2015 he exhibited to the public his new project “Mediterranean Darkness – portraits from the carnage”, exclusively for the MACRO in Rome and published his second booK. In the same year he presented his work "Invisible Faces", a focus on women's immigration. He is currently creating portraits of judges who have dealt with the major lawsuits against the Mafia.
"Holocaust 3.0" represents a reflection on issues and migration flows that animate in an urgent manner the chronicles of our time. The project, in its complexity, consists of migrant women and men portrait's. To the injuries that are common to all people fleeing from wars, dictatorships and poverty, must be added the signs of abuse and gender violence, which affect mostly women. I shoot these portraits in centers for refugees and asylum seekers and in shelter houses for women victims of exploitation. This project would  represent the drama of this migration of biblical proportions: the Mediterranean Humanity united by pain but also by the ability to express a great strength to react and live. The Mediterranean has become witness of enormous atrocities but is the place you can not do without for a possible salvation.
