This series of photographs were shot in 2023 on occasion of a reportage I realized in the E.U.R. district of Rome. It is a very peculiar complex of buildings designed in the 1930s and clearly inspired by the Roman Empire’ s classical urbanism mixed with modern elements of Italian rationalism and neoclassicism such as white marble.

It is one of my favorite reportages made so far, it was very engaging and challenging to make. I remember that I was looking for all possible ways to make the lines of the buildings fit together as harmoniously as possible within the rectangle of the viewfinder. The choice of black and white was quite natural, with all that white marble around I felt almost forced into the choice, to provide even more contrast between lights, shadows and lines.

 Born in 1994 in Rome, Italy, where I am currently based. From my passion for travels I developed my interest in the world of photography, which I initially practiced with a self-taught and very street-photography oriented approach. Later on, I decided to deepen my photographic knowledge by attending a photo reportage course at the 'Graffiti' School of Photography in Rome, held by the photographer and photojournalist Gianni Pinnizzotto. Here I developed my passion for documentary photography, especially of social and travel nature, which I still practice today. Guided by the desire to tell stories of men and places through photography, whether remote or nearby, capturing my personal vision. Currently, I work both as collaborator for the photojournalistic agencies ZUMA Press and NurPhoto, and as freelance photographer to my personal projects.
