An off-topic Geneva series
It’s been a crazy week. Preparing for an exhibition is never easy and preparing for it and at the same time managing its “marketing” aspects (flyers, posters and what not) is incredibly stressful. I am saying nothing new here I am sure.
And whenever you are involved in such a preparation, so many things go wrong [...]
November, november
November in Berlin.
This has been a month of reading, patient silence and not so patient attempt to get ahead of my desire to “know things”.
I have put my Holga to work and focused my attention on what I believe is my source of inspiration at the moment: the immediate and near world. I am not [...]

Best before news – Il giornalino precario
Sometimes in life you run into, or stumble upon, or simply get in contact with people in similar difficult situations, that is, precarious work situations, who also have a sense of humor.
A few weeks ago, one such kind of serendipitous event brought me in contact with Silvia, the initiator of the little “Best before news” [...]
Very few colors – Vienna
I (we) spent the last weekend in Vienna, walking around, visiting exhibitions and eating out.
The (never-ending) train trip was worth it indeed. This, and other observations, should you be both Italian speaking and interested, were the subject of a blog post, followed by another blog post, on what I like to call my “personal blog“, [...]
Busy, rainy
It has been a very busy couple of weeks.
Among the interesting things that have happened.
I was interviewed by journalist Marco Patruno, author of the blog Generazione P. Here you can go and read the interview, which is in Italian, in case you are wondering.
I received my price for being among the winners of the contest [...]
Pictures of a day – 26th July 2009
We went out for a very late breakfast at a very cute café in our neighbourhood.
Everything is freshly home made, the cakes and the coffee are delicious. A nice refreshing moment.

It’s nice to walk around on a sunny day and the city offers many inspiring views. Mostly small neglected things.

A small experiment on space appropriation
When I first moved to Berlin, I spent the initial couple of days trying to appropriate the space in the appartment. I didn’t feel exactly “at home”.
I tried feeling better by taking pictures in different rooms of the appartment to establish my own vision, to create a sort of “self-referential” image of how I wanted [...]
On, pause, off
Today I stop to think and realize how photography is the only way I can really interact with the world.
I can only talk through the way I perceive others. I can’t quite do it in any other way. I like silent observation.
I don’t like the childish debate-like interaction that sometimes comes out of seemingly interesting [...]
Tango nights portfolio added
One of the most beautiful times in Geneva was the spring. The city parks are colorful and the season of festivals and cultural events is just starting.
The Garden Party is one of them, followed then by “la Fête de la musique” and later on “les Fêtes de Genève” which officially end the summer time.
The portfolio [...]
Reflections
Photography is drawing with light.
And reflections are one of the many interesting effects obtained when light strikes or goes through a particular surface.
I was always fascinated by picutres of reflections. Pictures displaying reflections, especially if black and white, are among my favourite works.
I have been working on a series for about 2 years now and [...]
