I was born in Prato, Tuscany, Italy in 1965 and still live there.
I am enthusiastic about hiking and excursions and I imagine my photographic path as being a new journey on foot: slow, full of thoughtfulness and curiosities with long stops and detours.
A previous work experience in digital graphics introduced me, self taught, to the study of images and visual communications.
My first serious approach to photography immediately blossomed into commitment and studies, in 2012.
My practice has focused to social and environmental problems, I’m very attracted to the study of landscape and the man-made changes which leave their signs, having critical impact on natural resources.
I don’t "always have my camera with me", I believe that photography cannot be self - referenced: a piloted approach with a project in mind, must be the method for gathering the fruits of an idea, a place and encounters.
My journey has just begun.
