“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” ― Don McCullin

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. It’s about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It’s simply a matter of noticing things and organising them. You just have to care about what’s around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy. The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” ― Elliott Erwitt

Only if you've already been in Venice you can understand what I'm speaking about. No words can describe the enchantment of a person falling in love with Venice, while walking through it for the first time.

Many couples decide to come in Tuscany to get married, this makes me really honored to be born and live here: if they travel so far from their homeland for the special day of her life, this land must be special as well.

I was born in 1964 in Florence (Firenze), Italy, and I still live here. I am an Electronic Engineer converted to Information Technology since the middle of the ’80s; now I work at the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies in Florence. I began taking photographs when I was…
