ciao! I have studied at Monza’s Art institute and at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera in Milan. While attending the Academy I worked as assistant in Alex Majoli’s studio and in 2008 I founded the collective Cesura: an independent group of photographers aimed to create​​ photojournalism, documentary and artistic research projects.

In 2009 I was selected by Photolucida Critical Mass as a new talent. In 2010 I was selected by the World Press Photo prize with the project Detroit 2009-2010 and in the same year he exhibited for the first time the project Found Photos in Detroit at Le Bal Space in Paris, to which followed exhibitions at the Kulturhuset in Stockholm, at the OGR in Turin and at the MoCP in Chicago and numerous further international exhibitions.

In 2012 I published the Found Photos in Detroit book with Arianna Arcara. The book has collected seven nominations as the best photographic book of the year and was selected by Martin Parr and Garry Badger for the series: Photobook: A History Vol III, which collects the 200 best books after the second world war.

The curatorial experience of Found Photos in Detroit continued in the Italy & Italy project, a book that collects a selection of images of the city of Rimini in the 90s and I also recently curated the exhibition for the 125 years of activity of the Touring Club Italiano selecting 125 original images from the Touring archive. The exhibition was shown at the Palazzo della Regione Lombardia in Milan.

Today my work is concentrated in the production of research photography. He continues to deal with experimental documentary photography as the projects Realpolitik, Festa and the recent publication with Marco P. Valli "Il Corpo del Capitano": a research focused on the different perspectives of Matteo Salvini's propaganda - the political leader of the Italian Lega and center-right forces - in a truthfully and ironically way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to travel, meet new true people around the world to have a real connection with them and the territory.
Love to share my experience and my work too!
A presto
