Born in Ravenna on the 9th of June 1976 and graduated in History of Contemporary Art in 2003.

He's actually working with Valentina Venturi on blisterZine (self-publishing house) and NASTYNASTY© (artistic project on photography with Valentina Venturi).

He usually investigates about people living in “non-lieux” and about people who share their hobbies obsessively.

Photography, Video and Photobooks,  are the three main areas in which he experiments and develps his project, trying also to investigate on photography’s grammar.
