My project wants to tell the other Venice.
Not the millennial and art city made of stereotypes that by now survive only in the collective imagination but the real city that has totally lost its identity.
Subjected to unsustainable tourist pressure, Venice has turned into an amusement park, a "disposable" container, a large machine for doing business.
In this sense, for me, Venice today represents an extraordinary laboratory of human dementia.
I live in Bologna, Italy.
For many years I have been dedicating myself to street photography which, I believe, can help us understand the reality we are experiencing.
For some time I have been moving away from this genre, to orient myself towards reportage, an “elsewhere” that I would like to make sense.
The work "Border Atlas", as well as the other projects in the pipeline, is, in a certain sense, my “premierè fois” (to quote Magnum's beautiful book).
