Wandering around New York

Born in Cuneo, 64 years old. I live between Lodi, where I work, and Turin (Italy).
I like photo able to engage me; I study and observe carefully any photographic work that is able to impress me, I try to understand how a photograph can move me and I try to convey my emotions with my photography.
I have exhibited in solo and group exhibitions; in January 2018 my photographs were presented at the Torre Grimaldina in Genoa as part of the contemporary art exhibition "Segrete -tracce di memoria"; in September 2025 at the seventh edition of the Frejus Surrealist and Creative Photography Festival.
