I was born in 1985 in Modena, a small Italian city in the center of Emilia-Romagna, and I have had a lifelong interest in photography and cinema. In 2000 I started my studies at the Venturi Art Institute in Modena, where I learned the artistic foundations and photographic techniques. After graduating in Visual Communication, I began to explore video production, making short films and music videos. In 2013 I joined the National Cinema Academy in Bologna, where I learned cinematographic techniques. In 2015 I earned a Diploma in Direction of Photography. In 2018 I continued my studies in Rome at the Shot Academy to deepen collaboration on set. Parallel to these experiences I have always worked as a photographer and graphic designer. I have a good understanding of English and consider my communication at an intermediate level.
