A sunset in Camogli, postcards from a summer day on the Ligurian Riviera.

After a few months of silence, I’m back to sharing travel stories here.
2025 was largely dedicated to my wedding work with @matteofagiolino.weddings, a year of focus, consistency and goals reached, which inevitably left less space for sharing the places I visited along the way.
Travel and hospitality photography have always been both part of my work and something that satisfies me aesthetically and emotionally.
Over the past year, through work and personal projects, I had the chance to experience new inspiring places and collaborations.
In 2026, I want to give this side of my photography the space it deserves again, focusing on travel and hospitality storytelling and opening this chapter to new collaborations.

May, June, July, they passed me by in the blink of an eye.
Roma, Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Tuscany, Giglio Island, Umbria, the Dolomites.
Weddings, special events and travel photography, all I ever dreamed of calling work.
These are just a few of the experiences and collaborations that filled these past three months.
Grateful for the connections, the stories and the beautiful souls I crossed paths with.
Now it’s time to pause for a few days, catch my breath and soak it all in.
I’ll be sharing more about these places and moments in the weeks to come.
But for now, just feeling thankful.

Coastal vibes from Giglio Island, on film.

I haven’t published for quite some time, I was in winter hibernation. Now that the sun is back and spring is beginning to feel, I’ve gone back to review some images I took in the past few months.

This series in particular is about Giglio Island, which I had the pleasure of visiting twice in late 2024 and early 2025 for private event photo shoots.

During the days spent on the island, I was hosted for the shootings by the managers of @laguardiahotel , a beautiful luxury hotel with minimal design and warm tones, and had the pleasure of learning more about the island, its inhabitants, and some of the events of the tragic Costa Concordia disaster that struck this beautiful area now more than 10 years ago.

It was impressive to hear the stories of those who courageously contributed that night to help the ship’s poor shipwrecked people, but also very nice to hear the stories of those who instead helped over the years to rebuild the marine flora of the coast affected by the tragedy.

Along this experience I also had the opportunity to visit this wonderful island, out of season. For the occasion I also wanted to shoot in analog, for slower, more thoughtful photography.

These shots were taken in January 2025 with a Konika Hexar RF camera, with a Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 lens on Kodak Portra 800 film.

2024 was very nostalgic for me, but not in a bad way. Certain events of the previous year made me realize how much I took for granted so many things, so many relationships, so many people, so many memories.

I relived so many memories that smelled of old summer experiences, when this Smashing Pumpkins track was playing on the radio and carefree I was looking out with my friends to the future and what we were going to do with our lives.

At that time I was beginning to record moments with my father’s old digital cameras, and it was probably at that time in my life that the passion for photography began to pulsate within me.

Photographs and videos are all we have left to reinforce in our minds the memories of our past life experiences.

I am thankful that I do this for passion and for work, not only for me but also for other people.

Thank you 2024 for making me remember this too.

Light is the main element of my work. Knowing it and understanding how to use it to tell stories and describe moments or places has always been what drives my desire to create images.

This spring FLOS gave me the opportunity to document with a video and photos the final result of the renovation and lighting project of the new Cortine d’Onore at the Military Academy of Modena.

The video was shown by @esercitoitaliano during the inauguration of the courtyard.

Quick as never before, here are finally the images

Quick as never before, here are finally the images of the DGR24 in Bologna.

As always, we had beautiful couples riding their breath-taking motorbikes, lots of moustaches, a crazy sunny day and of course lots of charity work to fight prostate cancer.

If you’ve never come, save the date for next year.
The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride of 2025 will be held on May 18.
