Tuscany. The land of the rolling hills, the land of good food and even better wine. The land of Leonardo da Vinci and Dante Alighieri, of Michelangelo and Galileo Galilei, of Botticelli and Giotto. The cradle of the Renaissance, the cradle of the “Dolce Vita” motto.

Tuscany is all of this and much, much more; in between all these things, Tuscany is also my home.

Tuscany is the place where I spent my whole life, where I learned how to photograph and where I managed to transform that passion into a job. When I was younger my biggest goal was to get out of this region, explore the world and build a life away from the places I knew so well and seemed so boring to my eyes. Then I’ve finally been able to have a few experiences abroad - and understood that no place is perfect. They might look perfect from your perspective - but the truth is that every place has its flaws. Growing older, I realized what a treasure I had neglected for my whole life and how lucky I was to live in such a fantastic region.

I owe so much to this place - I don’t even know where to start. Well.. Actually, after giving it a lot of thoughts, I had an idea: to showcase the beauty of my homeland to the entire world through the medium I know best: photography. That’s how this series was born.

This is the biggest project I ever embraced in the NFT world so far: a series of four (4) collections - to be released across the entire year (2022) - to best represent the different seasons in the locations I’m most emotionally attached to: the rolling hills of Tuscany.

The first collection to be released - the one that you are looking at right now - it’s dedicated to the coldest season of the year: winter. Yeah, believe it or not, we get winter in Tuscany too!

The whole area is usually really cold and humid throughout the whole season, but only during very rare occasions we actually get snow; that’s generally when the cold air front coming from the North (called Burian) finds its way down here, bringing some precipitation together with the cold weather.

This combination of variables is quite rare: to give you an estimate, I managed to shoot these white-out conditions only twice in a decade of photography in the area. Oh, and on both occasions the snow had already melted by noon, so I had to be there really early in the morning and try to make the most of it as fast as I could.

That’s also what probably makes this collection the “rarest” of the entire series; you won’t see many images of the rolling hills of Tuscany with snow on them, trust me.

Now, let’s talk about the perks for all of you people, shall we? I promise there are some juicy ones!

• Airdrop of an additional secret piece: 15 days after the collection release, you will get 1 edition for each piece you own at the moment of the snapshot.
• Collect at least 4 pieces throughout the 4 collections: get a 1-meter wide, gallery quality print signed by yours truly of a piece of your choice amongst the ones you collected.
• Collect at least 8 pieces throughout the 4 collections: get a private 3 nights/4 days photography workshop in Tuscany with me! Included there will be accommodations, 3 meals per day and obviously my photographic assistance and guidance. You’ll be able to visit the locations of the images you collected and improve your photographic skills all during the trip! Workshop dates to be agreed between the two parties somewhere in 2023. In case the person is not interested in the workshop - I can offer to send out two signed prints.
• Collect at least 12 pieces throughout the 4 collections: get a private 6 nights/7 days photography workshop in Tuscany with me! As for the previous tour, you’ll get accommodations and 3 meals per day included, together with my photographic guidance. That’s the most complete experience that I currently offer on my website. I’d love to show you the endless photographic possibilities of Tuscany, to make you enjoy its food and wine and to capture some incredible memories. Workshop dates to be settled at some point in 2023. In case the person is not interested in the workshop - I can offer to send out four signed prints.

Spring collection out on May 1st, Summer collection out on August 1st, Autumn collection out on November 1st.
