Shooting at a 7 Days Eurocup match is not that immense fun because there are strict rules about photographers' location. This means, still on the court but not too close to the baseline. And I absolutely love to place myself right below the basket, ground zero, with a wide-angle lens. Having said that, here's the [...]
Last October I visited the Milan Expo with my daughter Matilde. We wanted to enjoy the experience in its wholeness, skipping the long, huge lines to enter the pavillons - actually any pavillons, October showed to be the worst time to visit Expo2015
On Nov.13th 2015 I was blessed to assist to a Foo Fighters unforgettable concert - while at the same time, people were killed in Paris, many of them were having fun at a concert. Like me
In an attempt to push myself towards the "photographer" role, last January I decided to submit a project of mine to Fotografia Europea 2015, an international photography exhibition taking place in Reggio Emilia (Italy) each May. At that time I did not know anything about how to organize an exhibition, I am still quite naive about [...]
Last June I "forced" myself to do something I had not yet even imagined to do, that is to organize a photographic exhibition. It all started with a visit to the beach where I usually spend the whole month of June in Riccione (Italy). I noticed that the light blue painted wall of the beach [...]
The Milan Design Week is almost over, and the web is full of images and articles about what happened during these last four days. This year too I visited Milan Fuorisalone - a faster than light visit to two of my favorite locations: ZonaTortona e VenturaLambrate. While editing the photographs I took during those exhausting [...]
I am having the chance to be one of the people sitting at the front row, assisting to the birth of a new "positive" online trend that has got viral among radio deejays in Italy - I've also spent a couple of seconds in the backstage, which is even better, I must admit. The Origin: [...]
Ciccioli (or grasòl as we called them in our local dialect) are one of the many delicious food specialities from the Italian region where I live: Emilia Romagna. I am really lucky to live in the countryside of this amazing region and every now and then I have the chance to attend folkore events where artisans [...]
Sometimes it happens that I shoot pictures, I save them on a hard drive and then I forget where I have saved them. Result: pictures are lost for a long long time, until the day I discover the lost folder while searching for something else. These images date back 2012. I shot them while visiting [...]
Every now and then I take the train from my hometown to visit Bologna aka "La Dotta" (the Savant) home of the oldest University in the world. Bologna is also known for its defensive towers (originally 180, now only 20) and its 38 kilometres (24 miles) of porticoes in the city's historical centre (over 45 km (28 mi) in the [...]
Last winter I attended an art course where the main subject was painting (which I discovered I do not like that much, but I will talk about it in a later post) together with photography and sculpture. Actually the sculpture module was a very short one, but I was the one I enjoyed most, in [...]
I always see many beautiful pictures shot in exotic locations, portraing situations that are - for us living in what is called civilized world - "very different". I sometimes wonder how wonderful it would be to be payed to travel just for photography sake, and how amazing it would be to have the chance to [...]
Right before Christmas, I spent a whole day in Ferrara visiting my friends at Mobyt. Before meeting them, I visited downtown Ferrara during a very foggy and cold winter day. And to my surprise, I discovered a very old and calm town, full of history and narrow streets. Despite the cold I took many pictures [...]
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I have found some time to post-produce some picture I took during the last weeks. Enjoy! Christmas Markets - Bozen and Meran (SudTirol, Italy) At the "Italian" Santa Claus' home in Montebabbio, RE (Italy)
The Acamìa project is not only about history and places, but also about the Emilian traditional cuisine. And as everybody know, Emilia is a place where the Italian cuisine is at its best: think about Prosciutto, Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamic vinagre, tortelli, lasagne, mortadella and many many delicatessen you might know even have heard about. I [...]
Acamìa (which in our local Emilian dialect means "at my place") is a documentary project I have been working to for a dear friend of mine who is in love with this area of Italy - Emilia - and he is willing to create an online place where people can understand the traditions and the [...]
This is the second post about what is going on locally in the area where I live in Italy - the one hit by the recent earthquake. This photography gallery is about WOW2012, a "white night" happening that took place in my litte tiny village on Sunday May 26th. It was a crazy night, [...]
Animal photography is not my favorite one - I do not have the equipment required to take close-ups of wild animals, I do not have the patience to wait for the right moment. Last week-end my family and I visited the Le Cornelle Zoo, located close to Bergamo, in the North of Italy. It was [...]
Actually, not just one, but a HUGE one and many, many little ones! Today is the last day of Carnevale (Carnival) at least in this part of Italy - and last Sunday we had the traditional Carnival parade and contest in my small little village. The even smaller village where I live participated at the [...]
A week ago, I spent a whole Sunday morning wandering about a small city close to where I live, in the North of Italy, trying to catch unexpected views of what I am used to see - I adopted what I call the "ant perspective", pretending to be an ant watching what surrounds her (this [...]
