#Non Sono di Qui! Is a series of studio portraits of a selection of the people living permanently in the community of Bagni di Lucca but were born elsewhere. The Migrant community. The portraits are intended to represent a section of a comunity .......................: English, Americans, Africans, Europeans, Latin Americans and especially, Italians. The goal is to produce a series of images, which can be exhibited along side individual biographies..................... The project aims to explore the cultural diversity and personality of these people who have profoundly influenced and helped improve the community.

The project raises the question of how to define what a migrant is and who these people are. It is also intended to show that in a community like Bagni di Lucca - as for many other communities throughout Italy - migrants don’t just arrive from Africa, they are simply people who come from somewhere else.
