Edoardo Delille says about himself:
“I was born in Florence in 1974.
I chose photography after discovering that law school was not for me, destroying my parents dream of a lawyer son. So I studied photography at the Fondazione Marangoni and after that I moved to Milan, a city that I have never stopped loving and hating.
My first assignments were in fashion and advertising. Later on I started storytelling through my portraits. I also work on video installations and short movies.
Travelling is what I like the most. I love the Mediterranean light, the Magritte paints, exploring borders and being a proud member of the photographers collective Riverboom.
My photos, both self-produced and assigned, have been published from New Zealand to United States, and hopefully will continue to.”
Giulia Piermartiri says about herself:
“I was born in 1990 in Porto Sant’Elpidio, a small town on the Italian Adriatic coast.
I chose photography after realizing of being too curious to stay locked up in a university room all day. I desired to know all the things I wanted to live and I thought that photography would be a good excuse to satisfy my own needs.
So, to get some tips, I studied photography at FSM Fondazione Studio Marangoni in Florence ,since I had never used a camera before.
Now my job consists of telling the stories I meet and the ones I like to come across.
Travelling is what I like the most and , if I can, I like taking with me my special assistant Pisola, my white dog.”

About ‘Los trumpistas’:
We think we know the archetypal Trump voter.
He is white, male, blue-collar, frustrated and angry. But is that really the case? Are these the only people that will be voting for the Republican candidate? Trump has defied all predictions and surprised media and commenters more than once.
Now it is time to meet some of his most unexpected supporters, the Latinos for Trump. Although his virulent anti-immigration stance, his promise of building a wall along the Southern border (and getting Mexico to pay for it), and his outright racist comments about Latinos make ‘The Donald’ a very improbable champion of the Hispanic community, that is only part of the picture.
A quick tour of Facebook pages, forums and blogs reveals a more complex reality. It has previously been observed that first and second-generation immigrants who manage to attain the ‘American Dream’ tend frequently to become conservative, and even to develop an anti-immigration stance.
Riverboom’s Edoardo Delille and Giulia Piermartiri hit the road this summer in the Southern states to meet the Latinos pledging their vote to the most unexpected Republican candidate in the last century. The best way to try and understand the Trump dilemma is to meet those who voted for him.
Ladies and gentlemen, Los Trumpistas!
