My work investigates how a location is transformed by the presence, or absence, of the human figure.

Its goal is to identify that decisive moment when a familiar place - for an instant - becomes a metaphysical stage, across which life "struts and frets his hour". Opposite what happens in cinematic fiction, this transformation creates theater from reality.

BIO

I was born in Italy, and have been in the US since 1996. To a certain extent, I think that both these worlds are in me.

I got my first camera - a Polaroid - when I was five. That was a long time ago, but I have been shooting ever since. 

My vision is influenced by many, including Gabriele Basilico, Andre Kertesz, Giorgio De Chirico, Giorgio Morandi, Michelangelo Antonioni, Wim Wenders, David Lynch, Edward Hopper.

I live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I live a secret life as a bean-counter in a major corporation.
