Scholarship graffiti "Rolando Fava"

The GRAFFITI, a year after the death of photojournalist Rolando Fava, has established a scholarship in his name, in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Culture in Lima (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) and the Centre Uladech Catolica Chacas - Ancash Region.

The scholarship is named after his friend and colleague Rolando Fava, who has dedicated his life to the work as a photojournalist. He worked as head of the "photographic" at the agency ANSA, where he made among others the famous photograph of the discovery of the corpse of Hon. Killed Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades, and Graffiti where he was responsible for the training of new photographers. His lectures have always been characterized by its strong personality, the passion with which he spoke about his profession and the enthusiasm that has managed to convey to the students.

The competition is an important opportunity to enhance the photographic reportage inspired by the social issues, to give greater visibility to this aspect of photography and to promote the emergence of new professionals.
