Born in Sicily, grow up in Rome, where I studied photography. I have completed my advanced education by achieving a Diploma of Analogical and Digital Photography at Scuola di Scienze e Tecnica from Comune di Roma following several professional photojournalists. I am a freelance for AFP and my last works have been published on: The Time, The Independent, Washingtonpost, Il sole 24 ore. Now I am currently based in Rome where I do storytelling and try to discover something that "pinch" me, but I ofter come back in Italy to follow stories that have to been told. www.andreafalletta.com
