Valerio Bispuri Orfani photography exhibition

Overview

The photographic project ‘Orfani’ by photojournalist Valerio Bispuri is being presented at Palazzo Toniolo in Pisa from October 23 to November 15, 2026. The exhibition features 33 photographs documenting the lives of abandoned children and adolescents across Pakistan, Belarus, Argentina, and Zambia.

The work highlights the realities of children living in institutions or on the streets, often facing poverty, violence, and isolation. Specific locations documented include the Dar-ul-Sukoon facility in Karachi, Pakistan, and Begoml in Belarus. The project, which was a finalist for the Visa d’Or at the Visa pour l’Image festival, aims to humanize global statistics regarding child abandonment.

According to the exhibition catalogue, approximately 140 million children worldwide have lost one or both parents, with 15 million left without either. Supported by the Fondazione Opera Giuseppe Toniolo, the exhibition serves as a tool for testimony regarding contemporary social issues.
