I noti sconosciuti

Francesco Anselmi (b.1984) is a Turin-based photographer. He is an alumnus of The International Center of Photography in NYC, where he earned the New York Times Foundation Scholarship.

His impactful career began with a long-term documentation of the Greek economic crisis in 2012. This project garnered him the Chris Hondros Fellowship Fund (2013, Eddie Adams Workshop) and the Visura Grant for Outstanding Personal Project (2016). His work has since concentrated on social issues and evolving border dynamics in Western society, across both Europe and the United States.

Francesco has been honored as an Oskar Barnack Award finalist twice (2014, 2019) and received the 2019 Visa D’or for Daily Press in Perpignan. His photographs have been published by leading outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Zeit, Libération, Le Monde, L’Espresso, and Leica Fotografie International, and showcased in international exhibitions.
His first monograph, “Borderlands,” was released in 2024 by German publisher Kehrer Verlag.
