------------------------------------------------------

I was born in Tuscany, Italy, in 1964.

I live and work in Rome.

Since a young boy I have been involved in photography.
Street photography became my specialty in 1981, when I toured Italy in search of local traditional events and celebrations.

I got a degree "magna cum laude" in Linguistics at the University of Pisa.

I attended several street and creative photography workshops during a long working experience in the United Kingdom.

Ferdinando Scianna, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Mario Giacomelli, Henry Cartier - Bresson were and are among my favourite photographers.

Some of my works have been and are exhibited in galleries and shows in Italy and abroad.

Today I shoot mostly on assignement or on self assigned projects (lifestyle, events and street) that are submitted to galleries and magazines.

Thank you for your interest in my works,

I hope you will enjoy your visit.

They say

"A photograph is not created by a photographer. What they do is just to open a little window and capture it. The world then writes itself on the film. The act of the photographer is closer to reading than it is to writing. They are the readers of the world."

Ferdinando Scianna

-----
Reality offers us such wealth that we must cut some of it out on the spot, simplify. The question is, do we always cut out what we should? While we're working, we must be conscious of what we're doing. Sometimes we have the feeling that we've taken a great photo, and yet we continue to unfold. We must avoid however, snapping away, shooting quickly and without thought, overloading ourselves with unnecessary images that clutter our memory and diminish the clarity of the whole.

I only use a camera like I use a toothbrush. It does the job.
