I was born in 1985 in Modena, a small Italian city in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, and developed an early interest in photography and cinema. I studied Visual Communication at the Venturi Art Institute, building a strong foundation in visual arts before expanding into video production through short films and music videos. I continued my training at the National Cinema Academy in Bologna, graduating in Cinematography in 2015, and further specialized at Shot Academy in Rome, focusing on on-set collaboration and production workflows. Alongside my work as a photographer and video editor, I have contributed to international film productions, gaining experience within diverse and dynamic creative environments.
