TITLE: The Sexten Dolomites

In the summer of 2021 I went on a trek in the Tre Cime Natural Park in the Sexten Dolomites (region of Trentino-Alto Adige in Northeast Italy). This mountain place is a site of the Dolomites Unesco World Heritage. Amazing moments of light combined with moving clouds between the peaks inspired me. I interpreted some emblematic subjects of the Sexten Dolomites such as the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Monte Paterno, Croda dei Toni mountain peaks and Piani lakes. In these mountains there are also several military tunnels dating back to the First World War.

I was born in Treviso (Northern Italy) in 1978. I love mountain scenery and I am a naturalist of the Italian Alpine Club and a supporting member of The UNESCO Dolomites Foundation.

I like to capture the emotions nature gives me by embracing its many aspects, such as rocks, plants and water in my work. The scenery presented in front of me, and the feelings it arouses in me, guide the development of my photos: black & white or colour are not just random choices. Composition and correct exposure are determinant in the making of my pictures. I can encapsulate my vision of photography in these words: "The colours of light... when nature paints itself." I very often hike through the Dolomites in Veneto and Trentino, but I also love travelling in the Alps and visiting new lands at the first opportunity.
