Winter Continuous Cycle
Mantua, a medieval small town in Northern Italy, is my hometown. I came back to it after many years living abroad. Of my past life I surely miss the metropolis’ hustle bustle and the anonymous crowd, but at present I enjoy the open view of three little lakes that literally surround the city and wandering in public parks on their shores.
Ciclo Continuo d’Inverno, Winter Continuous Cycle, is a perspective on these outdoors, where the city is a distant reality detectable by urban sounds and the skyline, with human presence only revealing itself through moving cars and thrown away garbage. In the meantime days and nights slowly alternate in the light and weather of winter.

Born in Italy. Based in Milan, he works for several years as freelance journalist and photographer for the biggest Italian life style and travel magazines.
He lately moves to New York City (1997 – 2005), from where he corresponds for the Italian press. He’ll eventually publish a chronicles collection, Nella Pancia Della Bestia, on NYC life experience.
In Buenos Aires, Argentina, (2005 – 2012) he mainly works on visual art and photography. Pulmon de Aires, a video, is the first project on the city. The travel made with surface public transportation between New York and Buenos Aires, to connect the two cities and to give continuity to the evolving life, has been narrated in Le Americhe in Scala 1:1.
Moves back to Italy in 2012 where he actively begins to work on video and art projects.
I’ve always been intrigued by the changes of light and colors due to the passing of time, I believe they can have an effect on our mood and perception of things.
A connection with the ambient that surrounds me is paramount in my art.
