BIO
Born and raised in Rome long time ago.
In 2003 I graduated from "La Sapienza" as an architect. My master thesis though happened to be a photography book.
In 2004 I worked at an old fashioned fine-art photolab in the basement. There were films, chemicals and old projectors.
In 2006 I moved to the Netherlands and tried to be a proper architect. It turned out that I started freelancing as an architectural photographer.
I looked around and worked hard. I explored and I sailed. I landed somewhere else and indulged for a while. Then I eventually got lost and it took me a while to find my way back home.

the city that doesn't exist
the Eindhoven urban densification – part I Inner City
How can architectural and cityscape photography transcend its sensory physicality and portray an unknown, unbuilt urban scene?
The city that doesn’t exist is a photographic-poetic exploration of key areas of Eindhoven that are about to undergo a major, long-term densification process—one set to profoundly transform both the urban landscape and the lived experience of the city.
Eindhoven is seeking to reshape its identity and aspires to significant growth, with the ambition of reaching a population of 300,000 by 2040 (currently around 230,000). These new residents will largely be accommodated in the city centre and in the so-called KnoopXL area around the central station.
Part I Inner City refers to eight so-called “focus areas” of the city centre. The plans for these areas have a deep longing for a new identity of the city. A highly urban, attractive, liveable, green, inclusive city with international allure – a global economic player; healthy and future-proof ... social ... hospitable city, according to the enthusiastic vision of the Municipality. Great emphasis and high expectations are placed on architectural quality.
