I’m a Rome-based journalist and photographer working across writing and documentary photography. I’ve spent several years in communications and public information for UN agencies and non-profit organizations, translating complex issues into accessible narratives and campaigns. My visual practice develops through long-term, collaborative processes, engaging with social and environmental issues and focusing on human experiences often left outside mainstream narratives. Intrigued by the beauty of silence, transformation, and stillness.
