–Everything
–2015
EVERYTHING began with the discovery of a mis-framed family photograph, an image in which the intended subject is cropped out but other unexpected details emerge.
The work explores how photographic “mistakes” can reveal overlooked narratives, shifting the focus from what was meant to be captured to what unintentionally occupies center stage.
Through this process, Everything challenges conventional framing, highlighting hidden stories and reaffirming that every fragment of an image has meaning.
–Bellemilia
–2016
BELLEMILIA is a journey through the province and the Emilian outskirts, exploring the so-called non-places: anonymous landscapes, forgotten gas stations.
Non-places are not the opposite of places, nor do they cease to exist; rather, they challenge our ability to describe them, as they lack a clear and shared meaning. These spaces leave an imprint on our minds through a few key details.
They are territories that belong to everyone and no one, filled with small, elusive stories that resist interpretation yet subtly alter our way of seeing. These places persist paradoxically—where nothing ever happens, anything
can.
–Venti!
– 2025
Since ancient times, numbers have held symbolic meaning beyond their quantity. Twenty represents change, a threshold between who we were and who we are becoming. In numerology, it symbolizes both rebirth and rash decisions. At twenty, life is full of possibilities and uncertainties, with a desire for control and a fear of getting lost. In the past 20 years, Italy has lost over 21% of its youth population (ISTAT 2024), leaving a growing void and fewer young voices in public debate.
VENTI! is a photographic story combining portraits, words, and symbolic images. Alongside the faces of twenty-year-olds are still lifes of flowers, blurred by 20%—a metaphor for the fragile, ever-changing nature of youth. The blur suggests movement and instability, just like the fragmented words expressing dreams, fears, and expectations. VENTI! offers no answers but focuses on questions: “What do we really see of today’s twenty-year-olds?” and “What can they glimpse of their own future?”
