“Take care of me” is a photojournalistic project created in 2021 and later published on Life Gate.

The photos were taken by Carlo Cozzoli who worked with the journalist Lavinia Nocelli. Together they listened to dozens of experiences entering the intimacy of the stories of doctors, managers and patients.

The Covid pandemic has certainly put each of us under stress, especially the medical staff who fought the health emergency on the front lines. This project was born with the intention of giving more value and a voice to psychological assistance in Italy.
