  • "Stefano uses the camera to make sense of the world around him and his images bring visual order to the chaos he feels surrounded by. His dexterity with the medium allows him to be comfortable working alone on his street photography or directing a large crew on a film set. His emphasis is on making heartfelt images that tell compelling human stories ."

    Stefano is now concentrating on fine art and documentary projects that move him and that address one or more of his social and environmental concerns. His recent project for Lunigiana Land Art saw him wondering in the woods "in cerca della retta via" ( In search of a path ) photographing the landscape and people of the Lunigiana in Tuscany

    From the introduction:
    In one way or another, we are all in search of the path that is right for us; of a way of life that allows us to feel in balance and in harmony with the people and things which surrounds us.

    Like the searcher, the place itself, Lunigiana, also seeks a new way. Crossed in ancient times by the Via Francigena and now by a motorway, it remains for many a land of passage....

    ....The project is an mix of portraits and possible paths, to follow or leave. I wanted to meet people and hear their stories and I photographed routes to find my own path ahead. There are photographs of those who have just arrived and those who never left, of newborns and centenarians, of friends and of strangers.

    There are well beaten paths and marked roads and dirt roads to the unknown; we can change direction at an intersection or we can venture and search for one.

    The possibilities are endless but the way our own.
