I am a photographer. Born in a small town of the Italian Provincia, I am now living in Rome, a city I have finally learned to love. Specializing in architectural and industrial photography, since 2015, I have dedicated myself to capturing the spaces that hosted the most iconic fashion shows in recent years: I photographed the architecture of Ferrari's first runway show in the Maranello factory, Gaetano Pesce's “Come stai” and “Vieni a vedere” projects for Bottega Veneta, Zegna's show among Anselm Kiefer's Seven Heavenly Palaces, and Alessandro Michele's last 'Twinsburg' show for Gucci

In 2018 I have been selected as shortlisted photographer in the Professional Architecture category at the 2018 Sony World Photography Awards, thanks to my series "Mediterranean Sunset in Siponto". My personal projects have been exhibited at MAXXI Roma (Roma 2025 exhibition, Agri-Fab City project by IAAC, 2015), at Palazzo Fibbioni in L’Aquila (Personal exhibition, Distanza, 2015), Adriano Temple in Rome (Proiezioni, Piccolo Festival dell'Essenziale, 2014), Montecassino Abbey (visual installation, 2012), Domus Talenti in Rome (the History of Wine in Rome, 2010). On June 2015 I've published my first book: Souvenir.
In 2019 I've founded MaMa Project, along with the poetess Martina Germani Riccardi. MaMa Project includes a series of visual poetry installations related to a specific territory. None of these are designed to last.
