About

I was born on the last day of August, which gives me every right to be a melancholic person. But my melancholy is also my inspiration. Maybe it’s because I have a skin too few that I feel everything so deeply.

I stumbled into photography almost by accident, thanks to a childhood gift. But I didn’t obsess over it. The stories of how photographers got started all sound the same—most of them had the financial means to afford cameras, lenses, and photography schools. My journey was different. I studied Literature and devoured film history. I’ve always been passionate about Nouvelle Vague films. My dream was to make a movie. Of course, I couldn’t even afford to attend film school.

I come from a classic working-class ‘80s family, where money was always tight. I never went without, but sacrifices were part of life. And honestly, I think that was a good thing. Wealth never corrupted me.

At some point, I ended up working on a cruise ship, just long enough to realize that water is not my element and that I much prefer dusty roads beneath my feet. Then came a factory job. I was looking for redemption. That was my Purgatory. I learned more during that time than in the rest of my life. Eventually, my path led me here—telling stories.

I’ve traveled a lot. By car, by ship, by plane. But more than the journey itself, what fascinated me was the idea of leaving. Leaving was always liberating. My tickets were almost always one-way. I’ve traveled a lot, even without ever leaving home. But trust me, I’ve seen some incredible places—maybe one day, I’ll tell you about them.

I decided to focus primarily on wedding photography, a conscious choice to challenge the usual clichés of the industry. My approach is deeply emotional—I aim to capture the most authentic image of who you truly are.

I’m a member of ANFM, an association of Italy’s top wedding photographers. My work has been featured in specialized magazines like Wed Vibes and Love Nozze.

Alongside wedding photography, I pursue personal projects. One of them, Inhabitant/Unhabitant, won second place in the national Silvia Agus contest and was featured in Perimetro magazine.

I’ve always written stories. Because when the world around me stops making sense, I escape into my own, and I have a great time there. In 2024, I published my first novel, Il Silenzio della neve che cade (The Silence of Falling Snow), where snow actually has little to do with the story. It was published by Radici Edizioni. Now, I’m working on my second novel—this time, snow is at the heart of it. Because I deal in memories. I preserve them in every way I know—through a camera or a typewriter. And in my memories, there’s always a little snow.
