City where I live: Lima
I'm Italian, I was born in Florence and actually live in Lima, Perù.
I got my first Nikkormat FTN when I was 15.
I never did artistic studies, but I was the assistant and great friend of a photographer, Bruno Garetto, from the age of 15 to 22. He teach me all I know about photography.
I've spent the last two years capturing images of the city of Milan, especially of its Metro.
Actually I'm searching hidden places in the Latin American cities, together with another project, called "Cose a Caso" ("Casual Things") using the new technologies offered by the digital photograpy to manipulate my pictures.
These photos show hidden corner of the cities and the simplicity of the common objects.
My works were exposed in many galleries in Italy and in some virtual galleries in Internet.
2006 November. Spazio 10 gallery in Ivrea (Italy). Solo exposition of "Metro".
2008 July my photos were exposed in Coco de Mar Gallery, Lima, in the Exposure "Sipopsis".
2008 July. I've won the Web Community Award in the International Fahrenheit Photo Competition sponsored by Christian Dior Paris.
2008 October. I've participated in "Noche de Arte" exposure in Lima.
2009 March. Be Boheme Exhibition in Asia Beach, Lima Peru, together with other 9 peruvian photographs.
2009 May. Beautiful Landscapes in 3 Bedfordbury Gallery, Covent Garden, London.
2006 April. I got a one day workshop in Milan with american photographer STANLEY GREEN.
2008 November. I got the possibility to participate, in Lima, to a very interesting two days workshop with spanish photographer JUAN MANUEL CASTRO PRIETO.
