I was born in Rome, Italy, in 1961. I worked in Radio, Theatre, and Television in Italy and in New York. In 2002 I began working on humanitarian documentaries. In 2003 I moved to Nairobi, where I founded Canvas Africa Productions, a company focusing on social issues through documentaries and photography projects for UN Agencies and NGOs. My work was exhibited in Kenya, in Nigeria, at the Lagos Photo Festival, and in Italy at the Biennale di Venezia. I have been published by the New York Times Lens and some of my work has been bought by Alidem, a photography gallery in Milan.
In 2015, I returned to Rome, where I founded Rome and Italy Photo Fun Tours. Since then, I have been running hundreds of photo walks, teaching nature, portrait, cityscape, and street photography by providing technical and hands-on workshops.
Since 2022, I have been teaching photography at Istituto Pantheon - Technology and Design, a private University in Rome.
The act of photographing is my meditation tool, my never-ending experience of discovery, and my philosophy of life. It is the way I have to enter into a deeper empathy with a reality that needs to be understood beyond its physical appearance.
