Uganda holds the World record as the youngest nation on the planet, with a median age of just 15,2. It means that exactly half of the population is under the age of 15, and if we consider all the under-18s, it reaches up to 70% of the entire nation.
Graduated in two different fields of social sciences, psychology and anthropology, since 2010 Riccardo has been working as visual anthropologist at the Irfoss Institute in Padua, Italy. In 2015 he joined international agency Prospekt Photographers based in Milan, and in 2022 he joined the American agency Institute. In 2019 he became art director of IMP International Photojournalism Festival in Padua.
Just outside the city of Toliara, cut by the Tropic of Capricorn in southern Madagascar, the biggest community of African lutheran exorcists was founded: a whole village where all the citizens are exorcists, often both husbands and wives, and their little children attending the school for young exorcists, where many candidates are training how to fight the devil.
