I am a full-time IT expert at the National Research Council of Italy. My passion for photography goes back to when, as a child, my father used to entrust me with his Yashica, a very heavy one for a child, especially if he had only one arm, charging me occasionally with film and leaving me free to shoot without too many technicalities, following instinct more than anything.

Later, growing up, I dealt mostly with studying and learning for what would become my job many years later, but that memory settled in my conscience, until it resurfaced in late 2016, when I felt the need to return, almost to case, to shoot, with different awareness.

For years now I have not left home without a compact camera in my pocket, constantly training my gaze, trying to capture moments and scenes that interest me. This has made me free as a human being, more confident and more curious. It is the most beautiful “hobby” in the world, they call it street photography.
