“NON SENTO PIÙ TOUR” 2023-2024
photographic project
SUNBURNT PAGANS
Sunday afternoon. Three AJ’s Toy Boarders surf plastic riders; a black toothpaste; a toothbrush; and a black cardboard. In mind an expression used by William Finnegan in his bestseller Barbarian Days: Surfing Life… “Sunburnt Pagans”… Fantasy rides anarchic waves… (Shots taken with Olympus OM-D E-M5 + Zuiko Marco 30mm f3.5)
THE WORLD OF JAZZ
Years ago, thanks to my friend professor and trumpeter Fabrizio Fiume, I started photographing the jazz scene.
Years later I continue to photograph the world of jazz and build relationships with very special artists on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
In a few days in Bellinzona a new musical-photographic project dedicated to jazz will kick off with friends producer Nicolas Gilliet and composer Frank Salis.
I’ll be there as always with my camera in hand.
Music and art will save us.
FRANK SALIS’ HIGH IN THE SKY CD PRESENTATION
See you on Saturday 26 November, 8:45 PM, at the Teatro Sociale in Bellinzona! Event hosted by NiCOLAsound and Artextentiuon/Artespressione.

LIFT ME UP!
Waiting for another lockdown – fucking politicians! – I let myself be inspired by Róisín Murphy’s Take Her Up to Monto! It was a whimsical trip into the darkest bays of my mind, it was a trip without danger thanks to music… I didn’t want to maintain the focus… I was led by the rhythm… Shake, Shake, Shake … Snap! Until I rose.
(Session inspired by Charles Peterson’s grunge series; all frames taken with Olympus OM-D E-M5 + Zuiko 9mm f8 Fisheye)
