LONG VERSION - Born and raised in Verona, Italy, I started taking pictures in high school with my dad’s camera. Over the years I
got into editing and videomaking, which I have tried to make my profession. While at university, I developed my skills and started working on small projects in different fields, craving for new camera equipment and bigger clients.
In 2013 I started a collaboration with Aquest, a web agency run by Fabio Merlin, who saw potential in me. Within five years I’ve had amazing experiences and traveled the world to work for big clients. From 2016 to 2023 I worked as Creative Director for Double Clutch, a company of which I was also a partner, alongside Luca Quattrone and Niccolò Vallenari. Double Clutch was a store fully dedicated to basketball, with a strong digital identity, in which my role was to take care of the Creative Direction and the Creative strategy, and make it happen through photo and video production.
In 2019 I founded Overseas Magazine, with my partners Andrea Casati and Gianmarco Pacione, a premium editorial publication aiming to document the influence of basketball on different identities and cultures across Europe, and beyond.
