\nI started taking pictures in 1979, when I took up traveling. Since then, in my life, photographs and journeys merged together in an indissoluble bound.
\nI begin my five year cooperation with the magazine Mototurismo in 1990, followed by that with Scooter Magazine, where I published several journey features and some additional articles on the scooter world.
\nAfter a pause for reflection, at the time when digital era was coming to life I went back to taking pictures taking advantage of the new technologies available. My focus was still on journeys and especially on Africa.
\nArchitecture (with a special interest for the rationalist period) and the ever growing suburban spaces where human presence is,\u00a0in my shots, absent most of the times, are themes that I cover periodically.
\nI\u2019ve been photographing for about 5 years abandoned places with great interest and satisfaction, especially industrial areas.
\nThese places present a unique charm, resulting from lights and shadows, dust, odors and great silence, and most of all from memories. It is indeed such memories, these traces of the past, that I quest and I capture with my camera, getting lost in the surroundings trying to find the appropriate framing and the right light to best represent them.
\nThey are a sort of parallel universe close to us that photography\u00a0 contributes to bringing back to life for an instant.<\/p>\n
\nBeyond the factory –\u00a0 22 images (70×50) about abandoned industrial sites in Lombardia, with a small focus on street art into that places.
