Hi, I’m Italo Vazzana, a versatile videomaker and editor based in Milan, Italy. I’ve worked on music videos, fashion films, performances, institutional projects and commercials for clients such as La Repubblica and the Maxxi Museum. I bring hands-on experience, storytelling instincts and a proactive, independent approach, with my own equipment ready for shoots of different scales. I’ve pursued ongoing learning across Europe, from photo storytelling in Berlin to VR and documentary workshops in Helsinki, Riga, Dublin and New York, and I hold a degree in Media and Communication from La Sapienza in Rome. I love turning ideas into compelling visuals and sharing stories that resonate with audiences.
