MORE ABOUT ME

After finishing the secondary school, I concentrated my energies in a thorough training in Cinematography, attending a three-year course at the world-renowned Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome.

 

Having been born in Nouakchott (Mauritania), where my parents were working at the time, and having spent four years of my childhood in Moscow, I was immersed quite early in a world where different cultures met and mingled. When I returned to Italy, I continued to travel extensively, both in my country and abroad.

 

As an Italian filmmaker, I could not help but notice the progressive reduction of cinemas in my country: from this observation I conceived and realized the project "Buio in sala", composed of a series of photographs published in national newspapers and weekly magazines (La Repubblica e Internazionale) and a web-doc that has had a wide circulation on the net and through social media.

 

Also starting from this work I felt the need to expand my knowledge and from October to December 2016 I attended a two-month course of direction and acting (Meisner method) at the renowned EICTV of San Antonio de los Baños in Cuba.

 

In 2020 after meeting Ismaila Mbaye, one of the leading African percussionists on the European scene, I co-directed the short film "ISMA - A Short Visual Poem" tracing his life and music.

In 2022, after returning to Havana, I decided to shoot "Daylin", my second audiovisual project as a director.
