In January 2006 I visited for the first time in Venezuela, at the World Social Forum in Caracas. I left with my friend Gianluca Belei photojournalist, with the idea of a photographic exhibition on the experiences underway in the country, then presented the Italo-Latin American Institute in Rome and elsewhere (some of these photos are still visible here) .
With the support of some people I met almost by accident during the Forum, we were able to visit a poor neighborhood of Caracas in what was going on the allocation of land and houses to the residents, a neighborhood, too poor, Valencia, one of largest city of Venezuela, where Cuban doctors in Venezuela and other Latin American countries provided a health service to people who had never seen a doctor in their lives, and many other places where the Venezuelan people gave life to moments of leadership, such as , attending school until late at night where he taught various subjects, organizing cooperatives among mechanical shops to sell food at popular prices.
