Photography ~ digital and film images ~ Colour, B&W and digitally enhanced art images of nature and people.

Born and raised in Rome, Italy I was enchanted by the beauty and art of the Eternal City. I began taking pictures and I tried to express with images the greatness of its history and beauty.
I like all forms of art, from music (classical, Jazz, Country, Rock) to poetry, paintings and Photography.
I earned a degree in Chemistry and one in photography, over the years I have captured images to describe beauty and create art as much as I could.
I have lived over the years in Canada, in Montreal and the Alliston area and I had the fortune of traveling across the country from Coast to Coast.
In my travels I was able to capture images in Europe, USA and most recently in the Galapagos Islands.
I feel that Photography can be a difficult form of Art because the results especially in the digital age are too often quick and immediate.
Sometimes creativity is enhanced when the images of beauty are transformed into Art in the dark room or on a computer by the photographer.
Most of the images on the wall were captured in Italy and I transformed them in Angus, Ontario Canada.
I hope you will see in these images the development and greatness of Life.
