“My personal story with Iceland started many years ago, in 2005.
At that time I had been dreaming about a trip to Iceland for a long time before coming here for the first time. As soon as I landed in Keflavik, I felt immediately in love with the pristine beauty of this Country. I was amazed so much that I quickly realised that I would have shortly come back again. After traveling a lot from Italy to Iceland, spending few months in Iceland every year, I finally decided to move here with my wife in 2015.

Now I definitely feel myself part of two countries, that I both love. I can’t see myself far from the stormy Atlantic Ocean, far from the black deserts and the blue glaciers of Iceland, as I can’t live without loosing myself trough the forests and the sharp peaks of the Italian mountains.

Even if I visited more than 15 Countries in the world, I have been spending all my photographic carrier between Italy and Iceland: I have been running all my photo tours, and all my personal photographic projects as well, only in those two Countries”
