THE WALLS
May 26, 2020
I wanted to give my views on the lockdown induced
by the Covid-19 epidemic. Other photographers
were producing on the subject-documenting their
own confinement and daily lives at home-and I
wanted to do something different. I attempted
to produce images but everything seemed too
trivial to me. I was stuck, even though I wanted to
express myself.
When the French government authorized onehour
walks in a one-km radius, I saw it as an
impenetrable block of walls. This is how I felt about
my creativity: an impenetrable wall.
I have decided to represent, visually, this frontier,
this physical, virtual, spiritual and creative wall.
La Famiglia
January 01, 2020
La Famiglia is a ongoing documentary which tells the story of a big Sicilian family, the relationships between its members, their migrations and their new living places.
This family is mine.
The project started with the desire to know it (better), after my brother and some of my uncles and aunts passed away, and with the arrival of newborns.
My father is the last child of a family of 10. My uncles and aunts were all born in Catania, like me, some of them are now scattered in Italy and abroad.
To pursue the shoot of this film, I have launched a crowdfunding campaign here.

Santorini, the spot Island
May 04, 2017
I spent a week in Santorini, in the Cyclades, in May 2017. I witnessed the start of the touristic business: between businesses renovations and repairs, while the first tourists start to arrive.
I wrote an article on the subject, the English translation is available : Santorini, the spot Island, as well as the original italian version here.
