In 1974 after an experience in advertising, first as art director and then as photographer, I began to concentrate on photo-journalism and in particular on reports and news, working with Italian and foreign newspapers. In 1979 I began contributing regularly to L'Espresso, photographing writers, poets, artists and the main cultural events of the time. In 1981 my portraits appeared in "Grandi fotografati dai grandi" ("The Greats photographed by the Greats"), edited by L'Espresso. From 1984 I began to be interested particularly in classical music, photographing composers, conductors, singers and musicians. From 1988 to 1994 I was a member of the photographic staff of the magazine TV RADIOCORRIERE, working on fashion assignments, political events, reportage and portraits. I worked as a correspondent at the Cannes Film Festival, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the problems of former Yugoslavia and I have worked on photographic specials on film sets, theatre and TV shows.

During the same period I also worked for Campioni, a magazine specialising in portraits of personalities from the world of sport. In 1990 I was invited by Collins to take part in "A Day in the Life of Italy". During the 1995 Venice Film Festival I was the first photographer in Italy to produce a reportage using only a digital camera, the Canon EOS DCS3. In 1996 I founded Rosebud, the first on-line news service to provide cultural images. From 2000 I 'm working as video journalist for a number of web sites as the Corriere della Sera on line and Mondadori.com. During the XIL Film Festival, wich take place in Venice from 29 August to 8 September, 2002 I made the first photojournalistic report via a mobile phone in collaboration with Nokia, Vodafone Omnitel, Grazia Neri and Emage. During the event I shot esclusively with the Nokia 7650 integrated digital camera. Key shots will be sent via MMS in real time and posted on the website at www.190.it. Surfers will be able to download them onto any MMS-enabled mobile phone and send them to whoever they wish. From 2001 I'm the coordinator of Emage, theGrazia Neri's multimedia laboratory.
