I’m an Italian photographer from Milan, where I was born and raised. My daytime job is creating pictures and I love it,
but nothing is more satisfying then taking a good photo on the street.
It is the perfect playground to learn how to look at the world, at its actors and their interactions;
it is also the right place to train yourself in reacting quickly and catching the decisive moment;
it is where you can improve yourself in sorting the caos out to pretend we are all living in one same big stage.
A lot of people think that “street” is a proper photographic category with its own rules and conventions but I always considered it as an aptitude,
a beahviour. In my opinion it doesn’t matter if you are shooting on vacation, during a commissioned job or simply taking random pictures of some friends: if you’re doing it with a street aptitude, then you’ll get a street photo.
I strongly believe in cooperativeness as a key factor to become a better photographer, by helping each other in improving.
For this reason, I founded the EyeGoBananas Collective on 2015 with a bunch of great Italian photographers and I also joined as art director the Street Photo Milano Festival project back in 2018.
I’m currently working on some personal projects that probably will never see the light, as always.

About The Collection

These photos are about my favourite street photography zone, Venice. it’s a special place for me, where i can meet new people from around the world every time.
This selection, is a demonstration of how people can be absorbed by surrounding environments, they don’t even recognize what just happened to them, it’s a fun experiment , it was started as a way to gain self confidence and i’m still doing it in many different ways.

Light and colors as narrative, as emotions, as complement. I assign a lot of meaning to color and, sometimes, it may play the main role in a photograph evoking feelings.
I work in both black&white and color but I have been mostly exploring the latter and its emotional response. I am passionate about different genres of photography, from portraits to documentary, from street to landscape but the core of my work is about people and their stories in their daily life. Up close, personal and intimate sometimes. Bustling cities, lost in the chaos of the streets very often. Or in a calm and isolated corner in a remote place of the world by now and then, my camera is always with me ready to be part of the unexpected unfolding before us.
I was born in Italy where I love to live.

I’m not sure which came first, being nosey or having an interest in “street photography”.
I was born in Pesaro in Italy in 1974. I start take photographs when I was a child and my parents bought me an automatic film camera. I’m a self-taught photographer but during years I had the opportunity to join the masterclass of important photographer like Alex Webb, Jonas Bendiksen and Maciej Dakowicz.I really don’t know what influence me and my photographs. I simply look at people and sometimes people give me a reason to take a picture.

About The Collection

The Summer Has Come
The beach is a great equalizer—no matter one’s way of life, everyone sheds their clothing (and social conventions) as soon as they step onto the sand. Here, varied moments of enjoyment from seasides around the world.
Summer is a season when people let go of both their clothing and their social conventions. The warm weather and long nights encourage everyone to express their connection with nature and their lightness of being.
The beach is also a sort of equalizer, as everyone is enjoying the same scenery and everyone is almost naked. Distinctions of class and experience disappear. I took these pictures over the last 10 years in locations around the world: the cover image was shot in 2007 in my hometown of Pesaro, Italy. Every time I go to the beach there, I relive the memories of my childhood, building sand castles and playing with my parents and friends. Summer always meant the end of school, of homework, of responsibility.
