Some things that represent me

Photography

I'm an avid photographer. Inspired by the greats, (Erwitt, McCurry), to name a few, In 2018 I got my project "Dolomites in Infrared" published on the cover and inside the book "Mastering Film Photography" by Chris Gatchum.
A vintage manual lenses and old cameras maniac, I'm doing my best to keep my Photo Diary updated take a look!.

Sports

Sporting activities like snowboarding, hiking, running, and skating are another big part of my life. I find them to be meditative and help me stay fit.

Environmental Consciousness

I founded with a couple of friends a local group called "Eco Friends Brianza" with the main objective of cleaning green areas and roads from abandoned trash.
I'm an active member of "SelvaUrbanaLab" , a no-profit association that harvests entire woods in areas unforested around Milan and its suburbs.

Spare time Projects

I created a small brand to promote tourism around hiking trails and natural monuments of my area. To support this activity I design original merchandise like tees and embroidered patches, I produce social media content, and customer support as well.
