Il progetto Muta Riflessione, presentato a Fotografia Europea nel maggio 2015, esplora il complesso rapporto tra l'uomo e il paesaggio, influenzato dalle nuove tecnologie. Attraverso una performance in tre atti, invita a riflettere sulla verità e sull'artificialità dell'immagine, generando diverse reazioni nei visitatori.
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
November 18, 2014.Anxiety for the Po River As happens every time the North is hit by heavy rains, sooner or later the mass of water flows into the Po River. Along the river, the alert level is at its highest: in Lombardy alone, around 650 people have been evacuated as a precaution from the riverbanks [...]
This project, Muta Riflessione (Silent Reflection) was first presented during Fotografia Europea in Reggio Emilia (Italy) on May 2015 The images narrate the sometimes strange relationship between manhood and landscape – new technologies have permeated our daily life, and we more often find it difficult to understand that what we are admiring is nature made through a process that lasted millions of [...]
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 [...]
"18 novembre 2014.Apprensione per il Po Come accade ogni volta che il Nord è investito da forti piogge, prima o poi la massa d’acqua si riversa nel Po. Lungo il fiume è massima allerta: nella sola Lombardia sono circa 650 le persone evacuate per precauzione dalle golene del fiume e dei suoi affluenti, più di [...]
Last week end BolognaFiere hosted one of the most important art trade show in Italy, Artefiera, whose past editions I have already documented in this blog. This year I was honored to participate to Artefiera as a guest - one of my iPhone photographs, Asma, ranked second in the #artseverywhere photography contest organized by Artefiera. I [...]
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 [...]
It is been a while since I last wrote a post. Many things happened, as usual, all together creating a big confused and crazy bundle of creativity and emotions. It happened that my life changed, for a long while - and it is still not over- as a reflection of what happened in the life [...]
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 [...]
It is winter time - but no snow yet. My daughter sees her father watching outside: it is been raining like crazy since yesterday. "Hey dad, why don't we go for a ride?" "Mat, there's no snow" "Yes there is - we can make it! We can build a snowboard park in our living room [...]
I have just noticed this post was first published on January 17th completely...empty! Apologies for the mistake! I have been quite for a while, wondering about what to do with my photography and art, whether to keep on exploring them, seraching for what really reflects my inner "tourbillon" or to say "Stop, forget it!" All [...]
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)
Close your eyes. Think about the smell of sun kissed, juicy, sweet summer-infused tomatoes. Keep your eyes closed, and with your imagination color this wonderful smell with the bright shiny red of tomatoes' skin. And finally, on top of it, add a smile. The smile of the people who made this tomato sauce, the happiest [...]
As my "friend and editor" Ingrid, always says: "Casali sei una bestia!" - which translates more or less with "Casali, you are so gross!". She always refers to me as "gross" when it comes to developing and post-producing pictures. I am lazy, very very lazy. I do not study photography, I have not the patience [...]
Fotografia Europea 2012, a set on Flickr. I live in the North of Italy, on the border of the area which now is under a massive earthquake attack. 40 km between me and the disaster. It is not a lot. It is a very odd feeling to live so close, share the wait for the [...]
I am trying to understand how to take good pictures, spending time in learning how to post-produce them and then I see this very interesting pictures taken with a....garbage can transformed into a pinhole camera! ARGGGGGG!!!! For those of you who do not know what a pinhole camera is, further details are available at this [...]
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 [...]
