Vittorio Emauele Caccavallo Aka VEC SAMOANO, Class '93, is an artist born in a small town north of Puglia, Italy. The impossibility of expression due to the "narrow" reality of the province led him to travel to several European cities until he settled in what he now considers home, Milan. Photography is a passion that has accompanied him for several years, cultivating it as a self-taught. Since 2018 he has been working in the world of professional photography, alternating practice and studies at the MOHOLE Academy in Milan. He made his debut in 2019 with "WONDERWALL" photographic reportage set in Morocco. One of the works taken from the same, "L'ATTESA" is currently nominated for the "1 prize Berlin 2022" at the Von Zeidler Art Gallery. In 2020 on the occasion of the photographic exhibition "PLANET PUGLIA 2020" in collaboration with RAI, AFNI Italy and the patronage of the Puglia region, presents "EARTH" photographic reportage focused on the value of passing down from generation to generation arts and crafts dating back to the ancient civilization of Japigia. In the same year he published in the magazine PERIMETRO the report on the work "AT THE GATES OF THE METROPOLIS".
