I got electronic engineering degrees in Ferrara and then moved to Milan, where I currently work. I live in a small town close to Milan.<\/p>\n<p>Self-taught, I was probably influenced by my father in 80s who always involved me during sessions of street photography in the old city of Taranto, my hometown.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In 2006 I bought my first digital SLR and from then on I never abandoned photography. My works are always linked to a project. The projects which gave me more awards are: [Commuters], [Taranto Vecchia] and [Il pi\u00c3\u00b9 bel giorno della mia vita]. The last one has been recently featured on witness\u00c2\u00a0Journal\u00c2\u00a0magazine (isse 48).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m fascinated by reportage photography. I always try to put a story into a photo. Wonderful photos without a story are useless in my opinion, a pure aesthetic exercise.<\/p>\n<p>I always shot with wide optics (24 or 35mm), to get closer and closer to the story I want to tell.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot tell story far from my way of being and my everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>I was born in Taranto and although I left my hometown 20 years ago, I felt the need to tell my roots.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a commuter and I felt comfortable in telling commuters stories.<\/p>\n<p>I see the everyday Milan into public transports, non-places, and I tried to tell Milan in this way.<\/p>\n<p>For the same reason I&#8217;m leaving in the provinces and I&#8217;m try to tell about the small town close to the big city.<\/p>\n<h2>Commuters<\/h2>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
