Born in 1984, I grew up in Rionero in Vulture, in the South of Italy. I live in Rome where I work as a photographer and photo guide and I teach in courses for adults and children.

All my projects deal with the issue of what is real and what is not, or better, what people think it is real or not. Superstitions, religions, conspiracies, freedom and rights: these are some of the topics of my research. I’m also interested to see how these issues are related to specific territories, moving along the borders of documentary photography.

In 2016 I won the Sony World Photography Award in still life category.
In May 2015 I won an artist residency in Northern Italy with Magnum photographer Alex Webb to document the Langhe area and there the project “Il Libro del Comando” started. This project was a finalist at LensCulture 2015 Visual Storytelling Awards. The dummy was a finalist at Cortona on the Move dummy award, DOCfield dummy award and Vienna Photobook dummy award.

With the dummy of "The Rome guide for terrorists" in 2013 I won the "Open your books" award for the best self-published book at Sifest in Savignano sul Rubicone and in 2015 with a new updated dummy I was among the four finalists of the Unseen Dummy book award in Amsterdam and among the eight finalists at the Call for Books Award at Encontros da Imagem in Braga, Portugal.
