The opening of the exhibition in Milan
"A vegetable garden in the Network" project, promoted by Snam in collaboration with Betadue Social Cooperative, is presented through the pictures of photographer Christian Sinibaldi (Machas agency). Opened in Milan, in the fascinating setting of Leonardo’s Wineyard
Thanks to a sustainable project initiated by SNAM - (Italy's largest gas distributor) - I was able to document the fantastic activities that the Betadue Social Cooperative does for local communities.
At the same time, I was grateful to get to know a very lush part of Tuscany that I had never travelled to before.
I loved meeting amazing local social workers, farmers and entrepreneurs and seeing how they have created a very healthy way of engaging and giving something back to their communities.
I will never forget the face of a woman at the Casa Pinocchio mental health institute who looked into my eyes and graciously thanked me for paying them a visit, but the pleasure was truly mine.
