The Silence is the protagonist of the boundless spaces beyond the Horizon. They naturally adapt themselves to the environment, despite the difficulties, and receive in return life and prosperity: they are the Mongolian Nomads. A temper molded by still territories and huge deserts that dissolve the concepts of space and time in a new dimension of the spirit, where the freedom, hardly and proudly chased and built, is absolutely needful. An inheritance probably handed down by the Gengis Khan’ s valorous warriors that created one of the largest empires of human history.

I was born in Pietrasanta (Lucca) on Aug. 29,1979 and I currently live in Lucca where I work as a restorer of cultural goods. In 2015 I obtained a master in photojournalism and documentary photography at “Fondazione studio Marangoni” in Florence. Sensitive to the communication through the artistic expression, I discovered my passion for the photography just few years ago. Togheter with my innate curiosity as a traveler who I am, photography changed my life giving her a deep meaning.
