Along the ancient, cobbled streets of Edinburgh, a young woman walks alone, wrapped in a long skirt, a heavy cloak, and a scarf wrapped tightly around her head. Seen from behind, her figure is so still, so delicate, almost unreal, like a porcelain doll forgotten by time. Scotland.

Born and grew up in Italy,rooted in a background in Geography and a life spent traveling across remote regions of the globe my photography explores the quiet dignity of people and places far from the spotlight.Inspired by the Humanist photographers of the 20th century,I focus on everyday life,cultural narratives and contemporary issues. As a documentary and street photographer,I use the camera as both a research tool and a means of connection capturing intimate moments,my work is an ongoing exploration of humanity,change and the fragile balance between preservation and progress.
