I took my very first picture in August of 2007 during my holidays in Rhodus. A friend of mine had a Reflex, and let me try it: that is when my photography history began. Photography was something I had never thought about before. I didn't consider the possibility it could draw my attention, but I was totally wrong. I spontaneously began to take a great interest in this form of art, to look around, study and understand its mechanisms. My following experience with G.F.P. in 2010 strengthened my the belief that camera was the best instrument to enjoy myself and feel comfortable with. Around my camera a new way of interacting arose, it gave me the chance to meet people who offered to me both means and spurs to keep believing in this art and expression form. I casually ran into something I could bet on: myself. My special thanks go to Francesco Giunta, Roberto Masiero, Anna Caldon and Filippo Scaboro.
