With us
6 years
I shot photographs from when I was 6 years old. I played with Threepenny machines up to 18. Then I discovered the reflex camera (first an old Zenit E, then Olympus OM1, OM2). I discovered the black and white (the mythical Ilford), the dark room. From 20 years to 45 I snapped, developed and printed thousands of photos. Especially dance, theatre, portraits. Almost always black and white. When digital arrived I was very wary. Then, slowly, I discovered the advantages in the use of digital cameras and, sometimes, Photoshop. I'm not a pro but (I think) a good amateur and today, 68 years old, I'm still taking hundreds of photos with Olympus OM d ā E-M 10 Mark III. I always love dance, theatre and portraits. But also the landscape, reportage and above all street photography. And now that I have the iPhone, sometimes with Hipstamatic app, I discovered a wonderful chance to take pictures whenever I want.

Carnival has arrived. In Venice, the city that invented the modern carnival, its streets are the perfect setting for those who want to dress up.
77th Collection
As Christmas approaches in Venice, the Santa Claus regatta takes place along the Grand Canal. A real race but also a splendid parade in the most beautiful city in the world.

At Christmas in the little things: on the colorful island of Burano, a gnome guards a small nativity scene in a bottle, on a window sill.

When night falls, Venice and its canals become an oasis of peace.
75th Collection
In Venice, as is well known, you get around on foot or by boat. And it is by boat, called "mototopo" by the Venetians, that the goods are moved. Pandas included...

The beauty of small things: a very small mural along a Venetian street.

Venice, the internal staircase of an ancient palace. Plays of light from the windows create a rainbow.

The splendid pine forest ends on the dunes near Santa Lucia di Siniscola, Sardinia.
72nd Collection
Verona by night never ceases to surprise.
72nd Collection
Sardinia, Santa Lucia di Siniscola. In a quiet pine forest and a few steps from the sea, someone has invented bookcrossing. For those who live there and for tourists.
71st Collection
Outside the most popular tourist routes, the Venice of the Venetians still exists, and it is fortunate. With their houses, with their wonders.
71st Collection
There are magical places in Venice that have not yet been overrun by tourists. Places to sit on a bench to admire a sunset.
