Ugo Lucio Borga is an Italian journalist, writer, and photojournalist. For over twenty-five years, he has traveled through some of the world’s most troubled frontlines, reporting on wars, and humanitarian, social, and environmental crises. He has covered the Arab Spring and documented conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, Somalia, Libya, Syria, South Sudan, Mali, Afghanistan, the Philippines, Ukraine, Iraq, Colombia, and Venezuela—a constant journey into the heart of global instability.

His work has appeared in Time, The Guardian, The Independent, Die Zeit, La Vanguardia Magazine, La Croix, Courrier International, Die Presse, Frankfurter Rundschau, Die Welt, Cicero, Brigitte, Africa Magazine, WOZ, Týždeň, Haaretz, Gazeta Wyborcza, Alpha Magazine, Diario, l’Espresso, Il Giornale, Il Manifesto, Il Sole 24 Ore, GQ, Nigrizia, VPS, Panorama, PeaceReporter, Rolling Stone, Il Riformista, Sportweek, La Stampa, Vanity Fair, Il Venerdì di Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, and in the Strade Blu series by Mondadori.

He has also collaborated with television and radio broadcasters such as RAI 3, RaiNews24, Sky TG24, Jetlag, Channel 4, Radio 24, and Radio RSI.

In 2015, together with the members of the Six Degrees Association—of which he is president—he founded the War Reporting Training Camp in Arvier, a pioneering initiative aimed at training journalists and humanitarian workers preparing to operate in crisis areas. Over the years, the project has evolved into the current Frontline Training Camp in Arvier, an immersive one-week HEFAT course, now recognized internationally as a leading program for preparing journalists and aid workers to work in high-risk environments.

The Six Degrees Association is a network of professionals who critically and independently analyze and report on forgotten conflicts, political instability, migration, and discrimination around the world.

He has published Il sudario di latta, Soldat 1 – guerra in Ucraina, and La luna si nasconde – diari dall’Africa in guerra: three books that serve as both testimony and reflection, reportage and remembrance.
