Born in 1962, bachelor degree in photography and master in “Science, technology and communication”. I started artistic activities in 1991 with projects focused on identity and archetypes of emotions, which was noteworthy at national and international level with solo and group exhibitions. Since 2005 I started collaborations with NGOs, currently board member of Six Degrees, an international association of war and social reporters. My most recent works deal with the condition of women in different cultural heritage, on social marginality of fragile subjects and social impacts of new "Silk Roads"
