Project on my mother, started in 2009 and still ongoing.
I started photographing my mother to learn to use the camera. I
continued doing it in order to spend some time with her. I'm still
photographing her to witness and tell our story.
Photography sort of bridges our relationship and helps me to know
her.
"Certo, si sono create discrepanze dolorose anche nella mia anima e
sono vissuta fuori dalla realtà per chissà quanto tempo" ("Surely, some
painful cracks developed in my soul and I lived out of reality for who
knows how long"). This is one of the sentences my mother wrote on
her diary, which offers an important reference point for this work.
I was born on October 26th, 1987 in Poggibonsi, a small town near Siena (Tuscany, Italy).
In 2009 I graduated with honors from Univerità degli studi di Siena, with a bachelor in Media Studies.
On October of the same year I moved to Milan, where I started my studies in photography.
Two years later I graduated from Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, with a master in Photography.
In 2012 I began to work as a freelance for Jazzit magazine (http://www.jazzit.it).
In 2014 I started collaborating with Sony Music Italy and International Music & Arts (http://www.sonymusic.it).
In 2015 I started collaborating with Sugar Music (http://www.sugarmusic.com) and Picicca Records (http://www.picicca.it).
