Born in 1981 in Northern italy, from a family of the south, since I was a child I’ve been aware of the
importance that journalism had to me. I wish to tell stories, to tell people.
I studied Diplomacy for Middle East with a thesis on Turkey and EU from LGBT rights point of view, and in 2009 thanks to a postgraduate fellowship, I moved to Palestine for a few months.
Refugee camps, check points, the dawn on Al Aqsa Mosque, in two words, the Holy Land, made me realise that I needed to preserve places and faces… and that I needed a new camera too.
In 2011 I started working in a communication agency in Milan and in 2012 I became the Head of video production, but photography is still the only thing that makes me feel in peace with myself.
For the moment photography is a good path.
