I grew up in Mantova, a small town in northern Italy, surrounded by hugs, good coffee, lots of pasta, and wonderful friends.

​

I fell in love with photography when I was seven years old, and even if I didn’t yet understand its power to tell meaningful stories, I knew I wanted to use it for something impactful. When I became a scout at nine, I made a lifelong promise to serve others, and my camera became my way of keeping that promise.

​

As I got involved in more community projects, my passion for using photography to aid NGOs and shine a light on human rights and different realities around the world only grew stronger.

​

At 17, I left Italy and moved to the United States alone to study English and enrol in college, learning Spanish along the way. I studied and worked alongside incredible photographers and artists, earning degrees and gaining experience as a photographer, artist, videographer, professor, and artistic curator.

​

By 18, I had already launched my full-time photography business, capturing everything from intimate portraits to large-scale commercial projects.

​

I earned a BFA in Photography and Art from USU, minored in Economics, and hold a cinematography certification from UCLA. Over the years, I’ve mastered large-format film, 35mm, digital photography, retouching, graphic design, bookmaking, and historical photographic processes like wet plate collodion and cyanotypes.

​

But photography is more than a job—it’s my obsession.

​

When I’m not shooting for clients, I work on critical issues projects—from human rights to climate change. My award-winning thesis, Credimi, Chiamami, Vedimi, a documentary project on trans identities, has been exhibited in over six countries. I’ve won grants to document NGO work in Brazil and Malta, co-created a play merging theater with historical photographic techniques, and participated in climate research in Bear Lake, UT.

​

At USU, I was recognized as Talent of the Year, became the first non-scientist to win a Peak Fellowship, and even taught a photography course.

​

After years of working around the world, I’m now back in Italy, bringing my international experience and artistic vision to every project I take on.
