The Chapel among the fog
With this photographic shot I wanted to describe the Cappella di Vitaleta, a 16th century church that has become a symbol of Tuscany with the ancient farm next to it, between the delicacy of the mists that caress it and the first light of dawn.
We are in San Quirico d'Orcia in the province of Siena in the heart of Val d'Orcia in Italy.
Since 1994 he has dedicated himself to telling the story of the Val d'Orcia and the Crete Senesi through images in all seasons of the year, taking advantage of the light of dawn.
He made his first landscape photographic exhibition in 1997 and in 2000 received his first award in the competition Italian Institute of Landscape Photography.
In 2003 he made his second exhibition and published a photo book.
In 2005 he attended the master of professional photography Still life and Design at the Academy John Kaverdash in Milan.
After collaborating with magazines Airone and Oasis his attention shifts to the reportage using the black and white as a method of expression in wedding photography, conceived as an emotional story. He works with newspapers and agencies of photojournalism and publishes his shots in the Corriere della Sera, Il Giornale, La Nazione and Gazzetta dello Sport. Years of experience, gained allows him to organize workshops on landscape photography and to tell places, moments, significant interactions and to capture the beauty of small and large details, using light as an expressive method.

entry description
Between October and December I have been in Val d'Orcia, in Tuscany, to create impressive images using the fog and the light of dawn, a typical phenomenon of this period.With this photographic shot I wanted to describe the Cappella di Vitaleta, a 16th century church that has become a symbol of Tuscany with the ancient farm next to it, between the delicacy of the mists that caress it and the first light of dawn.
We are in San Quirico d'Orcia in the province of Siena in the heart of Val d'Orcia in Italy.
