Cuba
CUBA “In quanti modi ti amo? Fammeli contare …” scriveva la poetessa Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Ci sono mille modi per amare Cuba. Qualcuno ama questa isola caraibica per la sua politica, altri per la sua gente, le spiagge, la musica, il rum. Cuba si presta all’amore intenso, quello che provava Hemingway che a malincuore lasciava…
Bali
BALI Piccolo gioiello dell’Indonesia, è anche nota come l’isola degli Dei. In prevalenza indù, a Bali è possibile assistere a numerosi riti religiosi che praticano gli abitanti molto cordiali di quest’isola. Ad ogni angolo di Bali si incontrano processioni di devoti in abiti da festa diretti ai templi con vassoi di offerte per le divinità.…
Music and Dance
My two passions in life are photography and music. I am an amateur drummer and love all kinds of music. Music and photography wash away the dust of everyday life from my soul. As I photograph any subject – be it the ocean or a baby – I hear a musical score in the background…

Faith
At times it is a little embarrassing to take pictures of people intent in prayer. Yet, one of the most fascinating photographic topics for me is religion: both places of worship – their architectural beauty and the halo of faith around them – and the believers who flock to their doors with a flower, or…
Children
“The soul is healed by being with children.” Dostoevsky’s words are undeniable. And yet the world seems to be steeped with suffering souls, for my travel documentaries are full of children that are denied the joy of childhood and the certitude of a future. And yet it is often these under privileged children that fill…
Traditions and Events
Europe abounds in traditions – much loved Saint’s Days, colorful feasts, lively fiestas. In Italy, the Human Chess Match in Marostica, the traditional Carso Wedding Ceremony that lasts almost a whole week, the mouth-watering Pumpkin Festival of Venzone… I love to photograph the traditions, feasts and way of life of peoples. Traditions are a window…
