    Teenage sisters with albinism must take extra care in Rome

    Sisters with albinism and professional models Matilde, 17 and Angelica Aureli, 15, sit on a bench in a park wearing hats and dark sunglasses, using an umbrella to protect their extra-sensitive skin and eyes from the sun, in Rome, Italy, July 12, 2023. Matilde and Angelica navigate unique obstacles as a heatwave grips Italy. The sisters who try not to go out before sunset, carry a special umbrella and sometimes use a high factor sunscreen to protect their skin from direct sun rays. Albinism is a disease caused by a mutation in genes and typically characterised by pale skin, light hair and poor vision. REUTERS/Yara Nardi
