Malta. July 4, 2016. I must soon say goodbye to my Italian family and collaborators. Photographer Illaria Datri @leslis , Francesca Gennari @fran.gennari picture editor @burnmagazine and Diego Orlando @diegorlando have been an amazing team for our work for The New York Times Magazine the last two weeks. Now we relax a bit after our dinner with novelist Teju Cole @_tejucole who will craft the NYTimes piece. Thanks amici miei for some beautiful moments.
