Su di me

Sono nato a Bologna nel 1973 e vivo a Calderara di Reno (Bo).


I miei primi scatti li ho fatti con la macchina fotografica di mio papà. Poi ho cominciato a fotografare le persone e i posti dove andavo in vacanza.


La mia passione è cresciuta sempre di più tanto che ho trovato il modo di frequentare anche alcuni corsi all’International Center of Photography (ICP) a New York City. Amo molto anche viaggiare e sono tra quelli che, ancora prima di partire, comincia ad organizzare il viaggio successivo.


Nella mia vita lavorativa mi occupo di marketing e di social MEDIA strategy (qui il mio profilo su Linkedin).

About me 

I live in Bologna, Italy.


My first memory of photography is using my father's camera when I was 12. Since then, I continued taking pictures of people and places while traveling to different countries.


I have studied photography for the last fifteen years and have attended courses and seminars with professional photographers, both in Italy and in ICP, NY. I love traveling. I'm that kind of traveler who plans his next destination before the current one starts. 


I work in digital marketing.




“But sometimes – sometimes – it happens. And when it does, it’s like the most addictive drug in the world. Sometimes when you push the button, and you hear the click, you know. You just know that you’ve recorded something special, and your stomach flutters, and your lungs fill with a rush of air, and you feel truly wonderful. I liken it to the rush you felt after your first kiss. You know the feeling I mean.”
