About

I was born and always been living in Sicily, an island that I love: an enormous photographic set under the open sky.
I remember most of my childhood summers: lunches in my grandmother's seaside house with my family, my father playing Battisti's songs with his guitar while my sisters and I improvising eccentric dances and amusing everyone. It was beautiful. Those were happy days, and I have memories of it all. Those memories would have been blurred if my mother hadn't photographed everything with her Kodak (which she carried with her on every occasion!). As I grew up, I began to understand the value of photos: I realized that photos capture not only a moment but, above all, an emotion. Since I began to take my first steps in the world of photography, I embarked on a journey in search of emotions: I learned to recognize them, to recognize the moment, the expressions, in adults and newborns. My children, then, have transmitted me a sensitivity that I didn't think I had, which I jealously guard and which has given me a new lens through which I view everything around me and that I love to photograph.

To always be present,
but on tiptoe.
