About

I’m Thomas Sturniolo, a Bologna-based filmmaker and video-maker who turned a long-held passion into a profession. The past years, especially the pause between the pandemic and lockdown, became a time of reflection rather than emptiness, guiding me to fuse my hobbies with a career path. I co-founded PAOPART STÜdio with Claudio Paonessa, and together we built a video production studio. Later I conceived and launched the first Creative Lab, where I currently serve as a Video-maker in the Trenitalia Tper communication team.

My specialization spans documentaries, short films and promotional videos for private and institutional clients. I bring dedication and reliability to every project, balancing writing, filming, and post-production with care. I am a responsible teammate who respects deadlines and thrives on collaboration, always aiming to tell stories with passion and rigor.
