    paper Parco Italia

    “The Paths of Biodiversity” is a program by Parco Italia aimed at promoting local territories and their biodiversity. Its goal is to raise awareness of the Parco Italia project and engage the broader public in issues related to the protection of existing natural heritage, as well as the risks associated with landscape fragmentation and hydrogeological hazards—while promoting both ecological and cultural connectivity. These dialogues explore a wide range of topics connected to the unique characteristics and challenges of the areas visited, as well as broader themes such as climate change, forests, cities, and biodiversity.

    The first path featured a conversation between Maria Chiara Pastore and Mia Canestrini, an expert in animal biodiversity, set in the WWF Astroni Crater Nature Reserve, a 250-hectare urban forest in Campania.
    The second path saw Stefano Boeri in dialogue with Telmo Pievani, an evolutionary biologist and philosopher of science, in the Montes Forest, part of the future Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu National Park.
    The third path featured a discussion between Giorgio Vacchiano, a forest sciences researcher at the University of Milan, and Serena Giacomin, a climate physicist and meteorologist, in the Bosco della Mesola State Reserve and the Po Delta Park.

    paper La Casa di Cini Boeri

    Trailer:

    La Casa di Cini Boeri, a biographical documentary about the life and work of Cini Boeri, directed by Maddalena Bregani, was screened at the Fondazione Prada in Milan. I collaborated on this project as the director of photography, alongside Stefano Santamato.

    Cini Boeri was one of the very few female architects and designers to make a name for herself in a time when it was widely believed that in order to succeed in the profession, ‘you had to have balls.’
