I am a medical doctor, turned photographer and passionate storyteller after attending a workshop and on-line classes respectively run by John Stanmeyer in Istanbul 2018, and by Salwan Georges of the Washington Post, 2022. This same year, I attended classes run by Stefano Mirabella an Italian professional photographer and teacher. In my earlier career, I have been working as a medical doctor, in Mozambique 1977–1981, where I returned 2019 and 2023, to document the fight against TB and HIV/AIDS. 1981–1985 I was in Zanzibar, Tanzania, as head of an Italian Medical Team. From there I moved to Rome to work at the Foreign Ministry, 1985–1988, as technical advisor. In 1988, I joined UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund, and for following 20 years I was posted in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South, West and North Africa, India and the USA. Now, I am based in Rome, and I travel where photography takes me. I like to work on stories that have social issues worth telling.
