The everyday has two tremendously extreme aspects: the beauty and luck of those who have the opportunity to live it and the frustration of those who are tired and would like to break the daily monotony. In this work I have tried to bring out both of these two aspects.

"A thousand years that I live behind this mosquito net,
chained to gestures of which I no longer remember the meaning.
Cutlery
on the bottom of a silent sea .........
I float ... ..
linked to words that I have never spoken .........
agitated,
gently,
from the habit of living. "

I was born in Gela in Sicily, 01.04.1962. From 1984 I live in Montichiari (BS). I have been taking photographs for over 30 years. I still remember when I took my first photo with a reflex, a Cosina CT1, loaned to me by a work colleague, in Rome, from the window of our office. A very trivial photo ... but very important to me…. The zero point of a great passion that has never abandoned me since. I still have that photo. But ... it was only a few years since I started studying and developing "my photos, the encounter with digital photography was for me the year zero. Being able to have total control over my shots in post production has opened the door to a new and wonderful world ... .. It was what I was waiting for. For me photography is an exteriorization of inner images. I do not have the pretension, nor the intention, nor the desire to document reality. Reality love to interpret it ... or better ... I like to give "my version of events" ... trying to express it artistically ... and hoping to succeed.
