Killing The TunaHarvesting of the Blue Fin Tunas for the sushi and sashimi.

Regularly Japanese fishing vessels, equipped with refrigeration, travel for months in the Mediterranean Sea to harvest Bluefin tuna (red tuna) from the Mediterranean fish farms.The tunas are shot with an underwater gun, and transferred to the ship where an exceptionally fast crew filets the tuna and stocks them in a room chilled to -60°. Each tuna costs up to 8000 euros, and will arrive in Japan where they will be bought and prepared as sushi and sashimi.

This story has been published in the Italian Magazine “IL, Intelligence and Lifestyle”.

Railroad HotelImmigrants arrive in Crotone from various parts of Italy to renew their permits to stay. An Italian law doesn’t allow to immigrants to renew the permit in the city where they reside, instead they must renew their per-mits in the city where they entered Italy for the first time. Crotone is a little village in Southern Italy without the accommodations needed to support the dignity of the impoverished immigrants who must make the journey there to renew their permits. Thus they find shelter in the local train station, where they sleep, cook, bathe and wash clothing while wait-ing for their new permit to stay.

CHARCOAL BURNERSCharcoal burning is trade passed down by ancestors through the centuries. It is an age-old job in Calabria. It is, hard and dirty work. The aim is to produce charcoal slack for barbequs, restaurants and for various dome-stic usage. Early in the morning, at 5am, work begins with the preparation of the “Scaraz-zo”- a mountain of wood arranged by hand as a dome with a hole in the centre. All the logs are moved by hand according to their weight. To prepare the scarazzo, Charcoal burners need about 4 to/7 days. When it is complete a fire is ignited in the hole in the dome’s middle and slowly the wood starts to “cook”. The scarazzo will burn for 20 to 30 days until the big logs become totally cooked and no more smoke comes from the scarazzo. After it cools for 4 to 5 days the charcoal burners begin to extract the charcoal from the scarazzo, and to arrange the charcoal for sale on the market. One kilo of charcoal slack costs 0.60 cents. Each scarazzo contains about 100 to300 kilos of charcoal.
