• Bio

    I was born in Pisa in 1995.

    I spent summers in Llanidloes, Wales, with my mother.

    I still remember the darkroom in my grandfather’s house.

    I was eight when I watched a blank sheet turn into a picture.

    I studied medicine in Pisa because I thought I needed a "real" job.

    I graduated in 2018 and moved to Oxford.

    I felt lonely.

    Two years later, I returned to my hometown.

    I started taking pictures to deal with myself.

    In 2020, I moved to Rome to study documentary photography.

    Photography taught me to sit with my loneliness.

    I like staring at houses and wondering what’s inside.

    I like talking to strangers. I like being on the road alone.

    I love my dog and Francesca.

    I love playing tennis.

    I love my parents, but sometimes I need to leave.

    When I was a kid, I stole a firework from a shop.

    I didn’t light it. I felt guilty for weeks.
