The gratitude journal is an autobiographical project I created last winter. It came about by chance, when I decided to share my experience after starting to write in this little notebook. With the images from my project, I hope to convey some of my enthusiasm and desire to use the gratitude journal to those who aren't familiar with it yet. The photos were all taken in Tuscany, where I was born and where I live. Two of them come from the family photo collection (me on my graduation day and me when I was a few months old).

I am Italian and I live in the heart of Tuscany. My passion is photography. In my opinion, capturing some moments of our existence is a real magic! At the beginning I devoted myself more to landscapes and architecture. Afterwards to a modern still-life that revolves around geometries and colors. Then my attention was seduced by portraits. I finally dedicated myself to documentary photography. I like to tell what people do through my photography. This allows me to relate to people and have a deeper dialogue with them, and that's really great.
