About me

Award-winning Director of Photography | Creative Cinematographer for Film, Commercial, Documentary, Interviews & more | Florence, Tuscany / Italy

I'm a Director of Photography and Cinematographer based in Florence, Italy, with more than 30 years of experience in feature films, commercials, documentaries, and branded content. I am also a proud member of AIC (Associazione Italiana Autori della Cinematografia), the official Italian cinematographers' association

I believe in the power of visual storytelling—using light, composition, and movement to transform ideas into cinematic images that connect emotionally with audiences.

- Cinematic cinematography that enhances both narrative and branded storytelling.
- Creative lighting design to set mood, atmosphere, and emotional depth.
- Efficient production workflow, balancing artistry with tight schedules and motivated crews.

I've had the privilege to collaborate with brands and (Inter)National broadcasters like Netflix, National Geographic, The Economist, BBC, Dior, Vogue, AirBnB, Vice and many more — trusted for delivering striking visuals under pressure and on deadline.

Colleagues describe me as collaborative, positive, and reliable, and I always keep the focus where it belongs: on serving the story.

If you're looking for a Florence-based cinematographer available across Tuscany, Italy and worldwide, I'd be glad to discuss how we can bring your next project to life.

Beyond cinematography, I can provide comprehensive pre-production support for video projects. As a member of AIC (Associazione Italiana Autori della Cinematografia), I bring not only technical expertise but also internationally recognized standards of excellence to every production I oversee.
On small to medium-sized productions, I can personally oversee the entire process, ensuring every detail—from scheduling to workflow design—is managed with care and precision. For larger or more complex productions, I collaborate with trusted local professionals specialized in areas such as production planning, location scouting, and lighting design.

This approach allows me to offer clients a flexible and scalable production service, combining creative cinematography with solid organizational support. By aligning artistic vision with practical planning, I help directors and producers achieve a smoother workflow, avoid costly delays, and deliver visuals that meet both creative and production goals.
