Partecipation - Imola (2019) My idea of ​​street-photography is that of an ever-new experience-performance. Each session is a wonderful event devoted to creative practice. If at the basis of this intent there are qualities such as truth, sense of communion, and the desire to link one's own vision to that of the reader of the images, then this performance is the message itself, the staging, the core of the meaning of my photography.

Green sensation - Comacchio (2019) In the famous picture called "The Steerage" by Alfred Stieglitz, the one taken in 1907 on the cruise ship SS Kaiser Wilhelm II, we find, reading the words of the same author, a situation of "moment received", so different from the Bressonian rhetoric of the "decisive moment". Stieglitz has this vision while he stands on the deck of the ship that is taking him back to Europe, so he runs to take the camera that is in his cabin, fearing that in the meantime the key elements of that image (the man with the straw hat and the woman with the child) can move and ruin the balance of the scene. Instead, on his return, everything is exactly as he left it, as if the photograph had waited for him. In this story, I see a lot of mindful-photography. There is another episode in Stieglitz's life which, in my opinion, hides a spiritual component, namely his commitment to the Clouds series (The Equivalents). According to him, in the ges...

Detail of fountain - Ronciglione (2019) In the details that I come across at times, looking around with a fixed focal length telephoto lens, I am often lucky enough to hear the whisper of the Divinity that permeates everything. This is how the game of forms and contrasts is colored by new mystical interpretations. Everything is the work of the mind, of course, but letting the Manifestation show its daily theater, with sunsets, reflections, and rainbows, is already a valid reason to open your eyes in the morning and throw yourself with open arms to meet life. This is what my photography is about: by transforming the practice into a liturgical ritual, I leave traces of my observation. I don't care much about the meaning of every single image. Perhaps the ritual makes sense, but only if spontaneous and full of devotion. The main fountain in the garden of Villa Lina, in Ronciglione, is a sculptural work full of symbolism. Photographs never it grace, perhaps because of its strange shape...

Ronciglione (2019) In Egglestone I recognize my ideas on visual potentiality. His obsession for the ordinary, his instinct for framing techniques, those saturated and rebellious colors, everything in his pictures seems to want to shout at the miracle of creation. If for a moment the witness and the manifested enter into symbiosis, revealing the dualistic deception, any representation that derives from it can be transformed into art. He was a complicated man and, like all great artists, exposed to the dangers of the ego, but I think he managed to find a way to understand the Creation through its impartial observation. He himself used to call it a "democratic seeing", free and without prejudice.

Summer again - Pescara 2019 Summer is the time when we take the most pictures. The abundance of chances and light inspires us to tell stories with our camera, in a ritual that somewhat reminds us of an animal hibernating. These images will keep us company on the gray winter days that await us, reminding us of the heat of the sun, the taste of the sea, and the feeling of sand under our feet. Photography crystallizes a scene that becomes a memory, and that memory arouses sensations that are only imagined, but like the real ones, they trigger emotions. Looking back on this particular image, I can recall all the magic of that peaceful wandering in search of stories, that slow pacing between the lives of men so that I could freeze the traces of their passage. In approaching this man leaning on his bicycle, for example, I had the distinct sensation of joining a dance in which everything seemed already defined. The choreography created by Manifestation itself wanted me to get closer to him wi...
