I have been a freelance photojournalist since the 1990s, working on conflict and post-conflict scenarios, migration flows, drug addiction, natural disasters, environmental pollution, and organized crime.
My long-term projects include an extensive body of work on the consequences of the war in Kosovo and the country’s path toward independence from Serbia (1999–2008); Asylum, a project on political asylum in Italy carried out between 2009 and 2011; and Drug Addiction and Criminal Justice, developed between 2011 and 2013. Since 2014, I have been covering the situation in Ukraine, producing several reportages in 2015 and, in 2022, reporting from the southern front immediately after the start of the full-scale invasion.
My work has been published in national and international newspapers and magazines, including L’Espresso, Internazionale, Ventiquattro, Le Monde Magazine, Newsweek Japan, The Independent, Burn, RWM, Epsilon, Laser (RSI). I have worked with several news agencies, most recently with the Prospekt Photo Agency until 2011, and have collaborated with organizations such as the Italian Refugee Council, the Villa Maraini Foundation, and Intersos. In 2020, I began collaborating with the web magazine Radio Bullets, for which I produced a podcast series on photojournalism entitled Extra. Stories Within Stories.
I have taught photojournalism at the Centro Sperimentale di Fotografia Adams and at WSP Photography in Rome and at the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia in Milan. I am currently engaged in an ongoing collaboration with the Lviv Polytechnic National University.
My photographs have received several awards, including the Anthropographia Award for Human Rights, the Enzo Baldoni Award, and the Atri Award for Reportage. My work has been exhibited in solo shows at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna (GNAM) in Rome, Palazzo Lombardia in Milan, and Palazzo Attems in Gorizia. Major group exhibitions include shows at Vanderbilt Hall in New York and the Norderlicht Gallery in Amsterdam.
