BIOGRAPHY

Details

I was born in Gorizia, but I live in Trieste, where I graduated in Contemporary History in 1998.
I have been involved in photography since 2012 and, in 2013, I was awarded by Foundry Photojournalism, in Sarajevo, for the work entitled A time for gypsies, concerning a Roma family who, to survive, collected iron and various materials in rubbish bins.

Subsequently I was FIAF FVG Author of the Year, with the work Accademia della Follia – a comedy in three acts.
In addition to some works published in newspapers and magazines, including Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso and Il reportage, I have presented my works, mainly of a documentary nature, in the individual exhibitions listed below.

Since 2018 I have also been involved in artistic photography and, shortly, I will publish the book "Travelling with Frida", a photographic adventure inspired by and in the company of Frida Kahlo.
