Who I am

About Me

Photography is a way of World-making

I’m an Italian photographer and video maker based in Verona. Photography is my life since I was young: my father and my mother are photographers, and also my grandfather and my great-grandfather. In my family’s photography studio (since 1906) I had the opportunity to test myself in many types of photography (portraits, landscapes, reportages, still life, architecture, etc), learning old and new techniques, analogue and digital photography.

As a professional photographer, I try to experiment every day, focusing on new ideas and languages. I think that photography is not a way to represent the World, but is a way of World-making: I trust in the creative power of the photographic language.

The World in which we are forced to live for me is not enough. I want to create other Worlds: photography is my way of world-making.
