After a career as a musician, I decided to devote my energies to my other great passion, photography. I started with both concert and news photography and then became almost completely involved in sports photography.

I follow all sports obviously, though football, horse riding and athletics are among my other specializations. But it is in rugby that I found more space, I followed the Italian national team throughout Europe during the 6 nations (more than 10 sets), I collected 4 world cup and I worked for several other federations.

Yes, I am lucky I do a job that I like.

Coming from the analog times I continued with my Canon kit, upgrading when possible to some of the latest camera and lenses to be competitive on the market.
