Rome, Dantebus Margutta Gallery, 2025

A black and white work of mine was selected and shown in Rome by the publisher Dantebus, at the Dantebus Margutta Gallery, on Via Margutta, the street that has always welcomed artists. Seeing it hung there, far from Sardinia and among other bodies of work, is a recognition I carry with me. For the exhibition I gathered many photographs in a catalogue, new and old: the first time I put together so much of my journey.

The image I chose tells of femininity without declaring it. The lines do the speaking, a leg, an ankle, the drawing of a foot.

I Volti del Mare, 2024

In 2024 I contributed, together with Carmelo Murgia and the association Storie di Alghero, to the photography contest I Volti del Mare, Memorial Roberto Serra, promoted with the Lega Navale of Alghero. Photographers from all over Italy took part, and the initiative involved the Fondazione Alghero and other local organisations. Giving value to the photographic scene of my own city is part of my work. The contest page

Interviews

In June 2025 the online magazine Imgpress published a long interview with me (read it, in Italian). I explain why black and white is for me a tool to look beneath the surface, and why I see the image before I press the shutter. A photographer becomes an artist when they stop recording what they see and start revealing what they feel, and my signature lies less in technique than in building a bridge between the inner world of the person I photograph and that of whoever looks. I started on film, when every frame had a cost, and technology has freed me to concentrate on the essence. I always print the images I choose, because paper is where a photograph becomes something you can touch.

A few days later Imgpress published an interview with Giorgia Sequenza, one of the people I have portrayed (read it, in Italian). She talks about what it is like to stand in front of a camera: the patience it takes on both sides, being guided step by step until she could simply be herself, and the confidence the experience gave her. She also offers advice on staying careful and surrounded by people you trust whenever someone proposes a photo shoot.
