It is a usual Friday early morning in a Madrid covered by a drizzly rain that recalls me the gloomy winter days of Milan. I’m in a colourful bar. I read an article on an economical journal, understanding that I would have preferred not reading those news. I order my usual coffee with some cold […]
Tuscany and the Sword in the Stone.
Imagine Tuscany. Only talking about these lands makes me dream of colours, perfumes and stories as evoked by a real painting. If we link this thought to the passion for history, we jump into a mysterious story. Italy has many enigmatic places but this one is in the top ten list of them. A valley […]
The art of post-production and photography, quo vadis?
Postproduction is huge and complex topic that has many facets and versions hidden in the techniques and its use. We shall crash the first myth, there is no photo without postproduction. Each photo gets out from the camera already processed and elaborated in order to be shown on your camera screen or on your computer […]
Winged Victory.
Walking around Milan can bring you unexpected surprises and emotions. Milan is the hidden corners’ city, the ones you must look for and that, when discovered, leave you surprised. You could bump into an eclectic mansion like this one in the photo built around 1911 and 1913. A liberty style that proposes rams, fish, dogs […]

Indifference.
X-Mas is already around the corner. When I passed from this road, almost at dead of night, my glance didn’t fall on the shining windows. My glance fell on a story that I don’t know. The window’s light, in the quietness of the night, attracted the attention of the few people passing by. It was […]
Vivian Maier and her enigmatic life.
I shall admit that when I heard about a Vivian Maier exhibition here in Milan I have been taken by a vivacious curiosity. The exhibition has been welcomed, by the media and by the people, with that rumble that she would have detested and it became an expected great success. But the question is, who […]
See you soon “Si combatteva qui!” (Here they fought!).
The past Sunday was the closing day of Franconiphotos’ exhibition: “Si combatteva qui!” (Here they fought). To make a balance is difficult because the feelings involved are many. At half past five p.m. on Sunday, under the soft lights of the exhibition’s room, I closed the visitors’ book I opened on September third. From that […]
A pray for Paris and a hymn to the value of freedom!
It has been a while now that I’m engaged with a photographic path which aim is to show the costs of divisions and conflicts with only one purpose: never repeat the mistake of war! Watching this real time photos coming from Paris, suffering the apprehension to know if my friends from Paris are alive or […]
Goodbye Expo!
Goodbye Expo Milan 2015, your months passed fast. You started within critics but you showed that Italy can do it! You destroyed the polemics on the field with its millions of visitors, the entire city packed with people, thousands of collateral events inside and outside the expo site, a first level security system run by […]
