I was born in Rome in 1966 and studied sociology before starting my career as a journalist at ANSA, the Italian news agency.
After fifteen years working in communication — mainly with the European Commission and the European Parliament — I shifted my focus to photography.
Accompanying my partner on international missions, I have lived and worked in Peru, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Argentina, and Brazil. Since September 2022, I’ve been based in Istanbul.
My work has been published in Corriere della Sera, Internazionale, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, and L’Œil de la Photographie, and commissioned by United Nations agencies and NGOs.
Over the years, I’ve explored themes such as memory, identity, and human resilience: from families affected by violence in Brazil, to indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon, to post-war lives in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Italian descendants in Argentina.
In 2018, the Cultural Center of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies presented my exhibition People and Words of Sarajevo. I also participated in On Pause, a collective show at the Carcova Museum in Buenos Aires: my very personal vision of pandemic. As a curator, I organized Belarus: Democracy Has a Woman’s Face in Brasília and Ceilândia (2021–2022).
I regularly lead photography workshops for students and adults, believing that images can be both a tool for self-expression and social connection.
From 2018 to 2020 I coordinated a volunteer photography project with children aged 6 to 15 in Itapoã, a disadvantaged neighborhood in Brasília.
The National Museum of Italian Emigration (MEI) in Genoa has dedicated a section to my photographic and human journey in the area of “New Migrations.”
I speak Italian, French, Portuguese, English, and Spanish — or rather, a kind of Portuñol, as we say in Brazil.
Feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to exchange ideas, collaborate, or simply talk about photography and life.
