Street and documentary photographer born and raised in Rome, Italy.

Street photography and documentary photography are two genres that have a lot in common and indeed are often united, which is why perhaps it is also wrong to divide them into two different genres. As I understand it, street photography must be spontaneous and can be done in any public space, from the city to the beach, from the museum to the desert.
It can be contextualized or tend towards abstraction, but a set of street photographs certainly contributes to documenting a particular place, period or event.
