I was born in Livorno (I) on March the sixth 1963. In 1982 I got through my school-leaving exams by the I.T.A. (Istituto Tecnico Agrario) of Pescia (Pt) and I gave up to be a student. About one year later I got the qualification of photographer and in 1993 the one of free-lance journalist. 
From 1985 to 1993 I set up as a manager of a studio. 
It was an interesting experience from a professional point of view, but for me it was not enough. I live at Portoferraio (Elba Island) but I am often in Livorno, where I have another office: so practically, I live in the heart of Tuscany. Before being a job, photography has been a real passion. It was my father's hobby and when I was seven I spent my time with him in the dark room. The charm of the photo, appearing above the surface of the development bath, ravished me. Years later I devoured books about the history of photography and I fell for the photos by Robert Capa, Lewis Hine, but especially for Henry Cartier Bresson.
From the age of thirteen I had my camera and with a roll of fibought with my savings, I made photo-reportages on varied events I walked through the streets of my town looking for interesting situations. I loved people, I always loved people and that's the reason why some years ago (1997-98) I prepared a photo exibition whose title was "Ordinary people". I have always been a curious person, fond of travel films and literature as well as of the journeys far from home with my family, in my childhood. During my teens I see over many countries in Europe, far and wide, often hitch-hiking. I always wanted to see what there was bejond and what we can understand from other cultures. I always looked for that impalpable feeling of excitement and calm which a travel can give you. I have never given over travelling. During my journeys I used to take the photos I liked and back home there was the usual projection to my friends. After a journey from India I tried to sell my slides and so I kept in touch with publishers of tourist magazines. From 1990 my photos began to appear in Tuttoturismo, Gente Viaggi, Quì Touring, Bell'Italia, Donna Moderna and many others. The theme of my photojournalism was always the travel itinerary, or the in-depth focus on a special place. He has also published in foreign magazines such as Tours, Ecoute and Adesso (Germany) Altair and National Geographic viajes (Spain). Nowadays I collaborate with Contacto, a  spanish photo agency   I also teach  photography, basically with the Arci of Livorno.
I am interested in your opinions so do not forget the email.
