I was born in 1980, Turin, Italy and have lived and worked in Turin, Bologna and many other places in Italy. I have a degree in Philosophy from the University of Bologna, and there, produced a thesis on the relation between Time and Photography (worked on with the famous Italian critic and photography historian Claudio Marra).

I began taking photographs in 2000 after receiving a camera from my grandfather who bought it on the occasion of my birth. He was a photographer, but unfortunately he died few months later. I still use this camera for the most important artworks I make.

It quickly became a passion and I now work as an art photographer, a still photographer for movies and an indipendent reporter. I also teach photography in courses and workshops.

I have been published in Italian National newspapers and reviews and have had my work exhibited in over 40 exhibitions in Italy and Europe. I have been published the book about people with mental desease "Nonostante la vostra cortese ospitalità. Fotografia e disagio mentale oggi", editrice Quinlan.

I am represented by the Claudio Bottello Contemporary Gallery, located in Turin, Italy.
