This book is an intimate journey into a family story. Memoria del Mal d’Africa is a photography book made of lost & found photographs, documents and memorabilia of an Italian officer during the UN decolonization mission in Somalia in the middle of the 1950s.

Andrea and Pierluigi have collected all the materials and tried to reconstruct the story of their father and this moment of his life immortalized in the photographs that were later forgotten.
