AUTHOR
I was born 51 years ago in Rome, where I live and work as an architect, dealing with real estate development projects.I have practiced photography at an amateur level since I was young, a passion handed down from my father, I took my first steps in photography with his film camera and now I continue with a reflex that I always carry with me because Rome offers so many interesting subjects to photography, from architecture, to landscape, to street photography. Thanks to my profession I have a predilection for architectural photography, for how light underlines architectural lines. I practice yoga and jog, as well as snowboard and Agility with my dog, for this reason the other subjects I love to photograph are dogs, especially in sports.
I love walking along the Tiber in Rome with my dog and my camera, listening to music.
