a very personal autobiography

This time it was just for a one hour walking downtown.
And it was the right time to think on my photography: this is an
heterogeneous summary of my personal path in street photography,
dated back to 1990: from easy common places to the perception of
gestures.

journey on behalf of the eclipse

A graphic artist, a web designer, a street photographer and an expert
of foreign langueges together with a camera and a notebook, fetching
for the sense of life in the shade of the eclipse.

when your heart beats at a human pace

Life might be better at a slower pace. This is the motif in this
project that was carried out during summer 1999 in the deep heart of
Tuscany (Italy): from the crowded streets of Siena to the quiet day by
day living of the country villages.

open air market of Rome

Gasping for fresh air, on a mid October Sunday morning in Rome.
Porta Portese is the Roman "Portobello": a place where you can find used
stuff, antiques and sometimes even robbed goods. A place pointing very far
from the ancient mysticisms of Christian Romanism. A place located very
close to a life for real.

Utopic City by a single Architect

The Scarzuola is the utopic city built by reknown Italian Architect Tommaso
Buzzi in the late sixties.
Surrealism, Oriental recalls and Mysthicism are the keys to appreciate its
garden, and finally free our souls.

A short tour in the most western part of the Far East

Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is a modern city with no center, a big endless
suburb of itself.
Hong Kong downtown is far better than lower Manhattan, but in the outskirts...

the white side of the south of Europe

This is my vision of a journey inside a south Italian town and
its neighbourhoods. Besides the high lights, colours, fresh and green waters,
and dream sands of the best Italian beaches, there is a low life in the
isolation of smaller towns.

Bologna is my hometown, but this is a collection only of three of the many
moments this city can offer:people enjoying shopping at an open air market,
central street crowded with live young people and fine wine bars.
