The photo was taken at sunset in a private villa in Tuscany. Some families own private villas in the Tuscan countryside and some of the villas have their private pool. The goal of the photo was to document the beauty of this private pool in the middle of the Tuscan hills and meanwhile telling the story of the people living in the villa and enjoy late afternoon baths.

I was born in Rome in 1980, where I have attended French school and got my Baccalauréat in 1998. Then, I have chosen to study Law and to start working in hotel management and tourism. Photography has been my passion since I was fifteen, when my father gave me his old Nikon film camera and I kept dreaming about working as a professional. So, I started studying photography techniques on books and practicing, taking inspiration from the greatest photographers. Five years later, I decided to switch into digital, being fascinated with new digital cameras technology and I invested all I could into the improvement of my equipment. After graduation, I attended photography classes at “Scuola Romana di Fotografia”.
