“Look, listen and then, try to understand”

Ryszard Kapuściński

I am a photo-reporter, born in Reggio Emilia, Italy in 1991.

From 2014 to 2015 I lived in Mexico, alternating studies in communication with independent productions of documentary videos. Afterwards I graduated in 2016 in Cinema and Media Engineering in the polytechnic school of Turin.

In 2017 I moved to Mali where I lived and worked until 2021. In West Africa I worked as a stringer for AFP and as a freelance for several Ngos and UN agencies, covering assignments in other countries such as Senegal, Niger, Tchad, Mauritania, Nigeria, Benin.

My love for travelling combined with photography and journalism led me towards a research to better understand my surroundings. Photography is a way to focus on the other, pursuing people that I humanly admire, in whom I recognise virtues and issues that question my own sphere of values and certitudes. The main subject that I work on are related to news stories, society, culture, environment, climate crisis and consequences of conflict.
