As an Italian, I think in Italian.

But in my language there is no word differentiation between solitude and loneliness, there is only the word "solitudine", often intended with a negative meaning.

In this series I pay homage to my journey and my identity as a photographer, positively glorifying the unique moment of being alone in stunning and elegant places normally non enjoyable in our own intimacy.

"Solitudine" has always been the theme on which I built my identity projecting my introversion into photography, experiencing as a spectator those scenes in which I would have pleasantly impersonated the subject, which I instead captured.

Images taken in Turin, Milan, Bologna, Venice, Florence and London, between 2018 and 2021.
