I was born in the lively town of Reggio Emilia and discovered photography as a teenager, thanks to my mother’s old Pentax K100. Since then, that camera has remained my favorite companion—the tool through which I translate emotions and thoughts into images. travel and write with an invisible pen: my eyes.
My shots are visual dispatches, fragments of a narrative reportage. I believe photography can also be an intimate documentary, one that tells not only what we see, but also what we feel. My life has always been a balance between art and science. Alongside photography, I’ve pursued studies in both music and pharmacy—two worlds that may seem distant, yet nurture the same dual nature within me: creative and rational.
In 2024, I chose to attend a reportage school in the Marche region, a turning point that marked the beginning of my true photographic journey. In 2025, I will take part in Fotografia Europea, an important milestone in a path I consider to be in constant evolution.
For me, photography is never just about technique: it is listening, memory, and revelation.
