I was born and raised in a forsaken corner of Italy: a border province, confined westward with the French Cȏte D’Azur. Once a beloved holiday retreat for European elites, its heydays are long gone. In the wake of this endless aftermath, I developed my vision, observing what still stands.
At age 19, I initially learned how to take pictures on my own. Shortly after, I met my first mentor, Duilio Rizzo, who helped me develop a more cohesive flow. More or less ten years later, I met my second mentor, Sara Terry, who paved the way towards perfecting my visual voice.
While mostly witnessing the facts and events of my closest communities, the most personal portion of my production is an act of ritualized meditation. Through this process, I cope through contemplation, recording what I see.
