I was born in a small town near Milan in 1995 and always wanted to go further and see bigger spaces than that. I basically started photographing at 16, i think because couldn’t paint and wasn’t interested in playing any instrument neither: I actually had never seen myself as an art-guy before. Although I developed a love relationship with my first Nikon d3000, taking it wherever I’d go, I’ve never thought about photography as a job. I got a degree in Philosophy in Bologna, those years still mean a lot to me, because I developed a big part of my ideas and values in that period. After that, I made the most beautiful trip of my life: from Bologna to Beijing only by train, crossing Russia, Mongolia and exploring Gobi desert. Then I moved to Madrid to continue studying, resulting in a discrete failure, but after that crisis I had got closer to my narrative vocation and renew my passion for photography. I’m currently studying journalism and reportage in Rome to turn this vocation into a job and photography is still my primary mean of communication.
