Firenze è una piccola città, ma racchiude tesori inestimabili che tutto il mondo viene a visitare
in ogni stagione dell’anno, specialmente a Primavera.
Oggi, a causa del lockdown voluto dal Governo Italiano per contrastare il Covid, è una città praticamente deserta.
Ho voluto realizzare un servizio fotografico che raccontasse questi giorni, unici, da un punto di vista diverso… il mio.
Mi ha accompagnato la mia compagna che con me ha respirato questa surreale atmosfera, intrisa di incredibile melanconia.
Eppure, allo stesso tempo, ci è sembrato un privilegio: la sensazione di avere la città solo per noi.
Abbiamo notato particolari che normalmente non avremmo colto: i colori abbaglianti delle facciate delle chiese dai marmi bianchi, ma anche la polvere sulle vetrine dei negozi abbandonati, immobili con la posta a giacere all’interno.
Si cammina distanti con la mascherina sul viso, come se la paura fosse ormai addosso e dentro ognuno di noi.
Una giornata di sole caldo illumina le strade e le facciate dei vicoli.
A volte ho come la sensazione di vivere un momento irripetibile, che da una parte
mi angoscia e dall’altra mi rapisce per la bellezza di Firenze che i miei occhi vedono e il mio obbiettivo fotografico immortala.
Non voglio dimenticare queste sensazioni, anzi, vorrei portarle con me come un viaggio in un paese straniero.
Così le racconto a voi, pur sapendo che ognuno le vivrebbe in maniera diversa.
Perché siamo unici e irripetibili, questo si sa.
Ho realizzato queste foto con la Leica Q
Lente: 28 mm f.1.7
The beauty of Florence
Florence is a small city, but it contains priceless treasures that the whole world comes to visit
in every season of the year, especially in spring.
in every season of the year, especially in spring.
Today, due to the blockade wanted by the Italian government for contrast, Covid is a practically deserted city.
I wanted to create a photo shoot that told these unique days from a different point of view … mine.
My partner accompanied me who breathed me this surreal atmosphere, imbued with incredible melancholy.
Yet, at the same time, it seemed to us a privilege: the feeling of having the city alone.
The beauty of Florence
We noticed details that we would normally not have caught: the dazzling colors of the white marble facades of the churches, but also the dust on the windows of abandoned shops, motionless with the mail to lie inside.
You walk away with the mask on your face, as if fear were already on you and inside each of us.
A warm sunny day illuminates the streets and facades of the alleys.
Sometimes I have the feeling of living an unrepeatable moment, which on the one hand
anguish and on the other hand kidnaps me for the beauty of Florence that my eyes see and my photographic lens captures.
anguish and on the other hand kidnaps me for the beauty of Florence that my eyes see and my photographic lens captures.
I don’t want to forget these feelings, on the contrary, I would like to take them with me like a trip to a foreign country.
So I tell them to you, even knowing that everyone would experience them differently.
Because we are unique and unrepeatable, this is known.

Flowers: Vincenzo Dascanio
I made this photo shoot for the famous Wedding Cake Designer Melanie, I often worked with her for weddings and events in Florence.

More than 8000 sugar flowers handmade have adorned the cake almost 2.50 meters high. The wedding was held in one of the most exclusive locations in Florence, the Four Season.
An incredible set-up for the floral decorations by Vincenzo Dascanio.
Candlesticks and mirrored tables in the dining room with antique dipindi. Infime a terrific live music to accompany the guests.

The protagonists of this marriage are two English guys who decided to get married in Tuscany.
Along with the bride and groom were many of their friends, the bridesmaids and the best friends of the bridegroom.
Obviously even their closest walls. All together to celebrate. An excellent organization thanks to Gillian that he thought of all the details for even the appearance of wedding photography.
There was a fantastic bus Volkswagen, in vintage style. The groom and his witnesses had worn cufflinks in the shape identical to the van.
We also see the pictures of the wedding as you are all a blast! Immediately after the ceremony to refresh the hot summer day, there was ice cream, the kids immediately took the chocolate.
We finished the photographic record of the marriage with the launch of the bouquet that is finished in the incredible Villa hedge that houses the English marriage, background unmistakable towers of San Gimignano.

On 4th September 2016 I made a video for a luxury Jewish wedding for my bride and groom, Benjamin and Tara.
The location for was the Four Seasons in Florence and the marriage ceremony took place in the historic Synagogue of Florence. With the help of my second filmmaker Alessandro Ghedina, we followed every moment of the couple.
The men were handsomely dressed in black tie tuxedo and with the “mosaici” colours of the Synagogue that filtered through the windows the result was very cinematic.
The cocktail reception was held in the gardens of the hotel where the couple took had their photo shoot and afterwards everyone sat down for dinner outside.
Guests were in for more surprises throughout the evening with a majestic firework show accompanied by a string quartet. The evening ended with an incredible live concert and traditional Jewish dancing.

With this album I participated in the 2016 ANFM competition. I tried to tell a story, the beginning of a journey of two people and two hearts, a marriage, the emotions and atmosphere.
Special thanks to Serena Fineschi for her moral and structural support.
Wedding in Zermatt, Switzerland.
Mount Matterhorn in Switzerland is the background for this couple, that moved to the charming town of Zermatt.
Wedding participants came from all over Europe to share this special moment with Patricia and Raul.
The beautiful Hotel “Il Cervo” with its spectacular view over the Swiss Alps was the perfect backdrop for the preparations and dinner.
A natural scenery admired throughout the world.
