ITALIANY.US is now online

A dream comes true...

June 22nd, 2016… New York

Finally the website is on, and in perfect harmony with the closing of the 3rd exhibition of Italiany.us in Los Angeles, a new chapter of this amazing voyage sees the light. As creator I can only say that these 19 months where I worked, struggled, enjoyed behind belief, cried, laughed were the best 19 months ever. The only fact that I collaborate with such an amazing crew of talented people explains my happiness and my luck. I feel that this is the moment to share the beginning of this still ongoing adventure…
It was the 3rd of December 2013 when at 4 pm I met Stefano Albertini, director of the Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò and shared with him my idea to do a photographic project about Italians born and raised in Italy and now living, working and loving in NY and therefore calling it ITALIANY. I had already shot for work talents like Roberto Bolle, Jennifer Missoni, Luca Buvoli, Grazia D’Annunzio and I showed Stefano the idea and the photographic style…He liked it… and he told me to start and to get together in January to see some new portraits…
After the January meeting he decided to offer me a show at Casa Italiana in September 2104…at that time I had 4-5 portraits…today I have 118 portraits and the only feeling I have inside is that I would never want to stop…
