In 2013, he conceived and realized “Colortaste: La Cucina si Fa Arte,” a photographic project, still developing today, involving leading Italian and international star chefs.<\/p>\n

Freeing the imagination and neglecting the traditional culinary dimension, this research gave rise to a limitless creative exploration, inspired mainly by abstract art.<\/p>\n

The exhibition “Colortaste” was presented in Milan, at Palazzo Isimbardi and, after several stops in Italy, was hosted in Shanghai at the Italian Center and, in 2019, in Tokyo at the Italian Embassy.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he began collaborating with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, contributing significantly to the production of two photo books narrating the Bike Tour: a passionate initiative in support of Cystic Fibrosis research.<\/p>\n

In 2020, he published the book “Sarno – The Offended God,” drawing a detailed map of the environmental disaster that turned the Sarno river into the paradigm of pollution. The images have a very strong approach to investigative journalism, but also reveal a refined aesthetic sense for landscape photography. The author guides us through a suffering and compromised territory, but one that still holds ancient beauty and a unique landscape dominated by the imposing presence of Vesuvius.<\/p>\n

In 2022, he started the project “Destination Unknown,” an impressive testimony to the fragility of some Alpine glaciers and a stimulating imaginary simulation of possible future scenarios.<\/p>\n

In 2024, he made his entry into the world of web3, using Blockchain technology to give selected projects and images an indelible character.<\/p>\n

This allows him to firmly fix unique and ever-changing and evolving moments in time.<\/p>\n
