Country: Italy

I was born and grew up in Trieste (North-East Italy) and, from a very young age, I have always felt a deep attraction for nature. As a young girl, I was immediately involved in defending the environment (participating with great enthusiasm in various ecological battles) and it was only 10 years ago that I discovered the great expressive potential of photography.
Having always been a globetrotter, I began to express, with love and passion, my connection with everything in nature through images, returning to many places where I had spent previous experiences as a simple observer. 
Photography soon became my way of narrating my travels, a bright explorer's notebook in which I poured all my absolute attachment to nature and the discovery of peoples and customs.
I often remember the words of Henri Cartier Bresson who said: 'photography is a way of life' and this has become my vision of life and its eternal cycles.
