Autobiography
Born in Trieste, a city of the sea and seafaring traditions, I've always had a strong attraction to this element, and especially in relation to what lies beneath its surface.
The big attraction and curiosity towards the sixth continent, which still accompanies me, pushed me to get all the patents to become a diving instructor.
But the turning point that me fall in love intensely of the sea and its inhabitants took place about twenty years ago when for the first time I picked up an underwater camera.
Since then, underwater photography has become an integral part of my life and I can not imagine one without the other.
This great passion has allowed me to win two italian titles in Underwater Photo Safari and especially to excel with my pictures in the most prestigious competitions in the world of underwater photography, to obtain the two most coveted titles for an underwater photographer: the Plongeur d'Or in Portfolio at the Festival Mondial de l'Image sous Marine in Marseille in 2009 and to be finalist in 50° Wildlife Photographer of the Year at Natural History Museum of London in 2014.
Underwater photography has led me to dive in different seas of the world and particularly in the Indonesian seas, where nature model a fantastic underwater world and outstanding in the multitude of living beings so special and colorful that composed it, so to confuse the mortal who is lucky enough to admire them.
