About

I’m an Italian art director and photographer whose work explores the forms and atmospheres of the contemporary city — architecture, nightscapes, and those marginal spaces where the urban fabric seems to pause and reveal its most silent dimension. I have documented the transformation of China through reportages shot in the changing skyline of Wuhan, the disappearing urban villages of Shenzhen and Shanghai, and the ghost towns of Inner Mongolia. My work on the latter led to the publication of the book The Post-War Dream (Urbanautica, 2018).

Since 2018, I’ve been developing a long-term project in Tokyo — a nocturnal and psychogeographic exploration of the city’s landscape, architecture and infrastructures — to be published soon by Penisola Edizioni. In 2021, I published a project on Salerno, a photographic and analytical guide to the city’s architecture and urban fabric, examining its key buildings and the evolution of its urban planning across different districts.

I’ve also photographed other regions of Asia and the Middle East for editorial and commissioned projects, including South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Arabian Peninsula. Alongside my Asian work, I often return to the landscapes of my childhood in the Po Valley — a dialogue between memory, perception, and the geography of the ordinary.

My work has been featured in Domus, Vice, Life Framer, Divisare, Il Fotografo, Style Magazine, and other international publications. It has received several international awards, including the Sony World Photography Awards, the International Photography Awards, LensCulture, Life Framer, and The Independent Photographer, and has been exhibited across Europe, Asia, and the United States.
