It's worth finding the work of the Portuguese photographer Joao Pina on his official website , especially the pictures of Roberto Saviano, the Italian writer who lives for 29 years hiding under police protection since the publication of the book "Gomorrah," which exposes the ills the Neapolitan Mafia.
