Now Rome is all yours 2020
Photography that evokes the past and makes it eternal, without time boundaries. The photography that assigns power, like the subjective one, the personal vision of a utopian desire drawn among the stars: Rome as a still, timeless scenario. My mother in these photos stopped the hands of the clock. It doesn't matter if it was 30 or 50 years ago. The future is not even imagined, time is now a firm line. Photography stopped her, in these candid poses that I brought back to life by tracing them in my own way, as with a hypothetical felt-tip pen, drawing comments and props on them. To tell you, mom, that I photographed you another time, bypassing time and also being with you there, here or anywhere

Born in Palermo in 1974, I have been having a natural flair for the shot since he was 10, using a Polaroid 1000 model borrowed from my brother. A few years later the first experiments in street photography gave way to the glossy world of glamour. The real revolution begins owning a Kodak's bridge camera with a 24x zoom which trained my eye to look for the hidden details of things, as in an imaginary game in which there is always something hidden from reality that may tickle the wonder of surprise.
In 2008 I returned to the glamour theme placing as finalist at the 6th edition of Paris' PX3. A few years later I inaugurated my portfolio on Vogue Italia's PhotoVogue website with more than 500 photos. Since then, international honors have dropped with some regularity and this has pushed me to challenge my skills more and more. Currently I dedicate myself mainly to street and documentary photography. I recently finished my triptych on my mother's family.
