“Photography” is not about “Photography”, it’s about you!

I have always been interested in photography, and for that reason I studied with some of the most important authors on the International scene.

I started in 2003 on the advice of Grazia Neri with a great Master of Italian photography: Gianni Berengo Gardin. In the following years I was a student of some of the greatest authors on the international scene, such as Alex Majoli (Magnum Photos), Kent Kobersteen (National Geographic photo editor), Bob Sacha (National Geographic), Antonin Kratochvil (VII agency), Anders Petersen and Arno Minkkinen.

I took part in meetings and seminars with photographers of the caliber of Francesco Zizola, Ernesto Bazan, Bruno Stevens, as well as with various other Magnum photographers: Alex Majoli, Paolo Pellegrin, Ferdinando Scianna.

I was distinguished photographer in the Day’s Japan World Photojournalistic Award in 2005 with the reportage made in Kolkata, India, “Children of the city of joy” and distinguished photographer in the Italian Professional Award in 2008 with the reportage on “Treviso Christian Centre”.

Since 2007 I am the face of the Manfrotto, Gitzo, Kata, National Geographic brands, and I have been teaching photography in the Manfrotto School of Xcellence for many years.

In Italy and abroad I have been represented by the Grazia Neri agency of Milan from 2005 until 2008.

I exhibited in Photokina Köln 2008, in Photoshow Rome 2010, in Bassano Fotografia 2011 together with Douglas Kirkland and in the Leica Galerie in Milan in 2015.

From 2010 until 2017 I organized and held photographic workshops in India, Nepal, Burma, Vietnam, Iceland, Turkey, and Cambodia.

Since 2012 I hold photographic workshops – especially in Venice – for the prestigious Leica Akademie.

In 2013, along with dozens of photography enthusiasts founded in Venice “Marco Polo Photographic Association” of which I am currently the Honorary President.

In 2014 I got the license for Tour Leader in Venice and, since then, I hold Private Photo Tours and Photo Walks in Venice.
