On the other side of the same mountain.
What would it be like if a white line split your town in
two?
Along the border between Italy and Slovenia, in the cities of Gorizia and Nova Gorizia, this project seeks to capture the essence of those who live in the in-between—where cultures intertwine and identities blur.
Through the stories of its inhabitants, I aim to convey what it means to live on a border
today, exploring the cultural identity of its people through their stories, memories, and
traditions.
While politics has often used borders to divide populations, these communities have
remained united in their commitment to embracing a diverse heritage. In doing so, they
inspire pluralistic societies in a political climate increasingly prone to fostering cultural
divisions.
In the Soil, Nothing is Forgotten.
The Anthropocene shapes our world in both visible and hidden ways, driving vast industrial systems that continually reshape our relationship with nature. This project examines t h o s e forces by tracing their tangible impacts, revealing the hidden costs of models that place profit above the planet's fragile balance.
To grow a single flower ni an industrial facility, more than eight chemical products are used, pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, soil conditioners, each carrying stories of nmauh and environmental exploitation. Their passage is not forgotten by the earth; it lingers in the soil, a silent trace of the price paid. Their beauty si brief, destined to fade within days, yet in hat short moment ti conceals a disturbing truth: all that remains si only a memory of beauty, and the cost we choose not to see.
Emerging from personal research, field observations, and photographic exploration, het project brings together images of landscapes, objects, and materials tied ot this industry. The 3D machine-gaze reconstruction of the flower further exposes its artificiality, a digital echo of something that no longer exists ni its natural form but survives as an artificial creation shaped and perfected to become a product, altering even our memory of what a flower is.

Oreste
My grandfather, Oreste, was part of that post-war generation that rebuilt a country from scratch, inventing professions where there were none and contributing to the economic recovery of a nation on the brink. In a small workshop, he was a craftsman, producing chairs, sofas, and curtains, all meticulously handmade. These unique pieces, crafted alongside his fellow artisans, helped shape the cultural identity of a nation.
In this context, we find ourselves confronted with an economic reality increasingly influenced by large multinational corporations. Economic giants dominate the business landscape, exerting a profound impact on the economy, society, and culture.
Material Identities
There is something fascinating about seeing, touching, and imagining the history of objects that belonged to other people. Objects that were once precious to someone but now seem devoid of value, suspended in a new dimension of anonymity. This makes me reflect: what value do we assign to things? What energy do they carry with them?
This project is a visual reflection on the material world and its interconnectedness with our lives. Through photographs, I explore the meaning and value we attribute to objects, investigating the stories and emotions they convey.
Un Vento che Pare si Muova
Ongoing / Riso Print.
This ongoing photographic project explores the small rural villages of Italy, many of which are inhabited predominantly by elderly residents. Through my work, I aim to rediscover these communities and their cultural traditions, capturing the quiet beauty, resilience, and unique ways of life that are at risk of disappearing. At the same time, the project addresses broader social and environmental concerns, documenting stories of human and territorial exploitation, the effects of depopulation, and the tensions between tradition and modernization.
