We step out of the exhibition room and begin to hear the noise, rain pours from the sky with a cruel intensity. It feels like the first autumn day is tearing summer apart. A mix of umbrellas and colorful plastic ponchos are filling the space disclosed by the door of La Virreina …

During the weekend, I visited the Revelat festival. There I saw “Movimiento Continuo”, the work of Juan Manuel Díaz Burgos on Cuba. His project documents more than 32 years of ingenious life in Cuba, “a country where creativity and resilience are essential for survival”.

I was reading this article from Manu and, by the end of the article, this sentence hit me:

A bit more than a week has passed since I closed my first pop-up newsletter dedicated to my Vietnam wanderings. The goal of the pop-up newsletter was to immerse subscribers in my experience while it was unfolding — letting them walk in my shoes through my words and my photos, on …

I’m on a flight from Valencia to Berlin after having spent a long weekend with my dear friend Dmitry “enjoying” the Fallas celebration and a long night of coding (maybe more about this last part in the future). I’ve just started a new book when, on page 18, I read this passage:

I’m a big fan of newsletters—it’s my favorite way to receive asynchronous updates from people I’m interested in. It’s a pleasure to receive a well-thought-out and written newsletter that is not only a container of links but also a sneak peek into someone else’s mind and …

I woke up this morning with this message from my very good friend Federico. And I hate to say that I saw it coming. I was always a fan of the B-Corp concept. When I co-founded Fattelo! – where the author of the message was also one of the co-founders – I pushed to find a way to …

I shot a lot, really, a lot. And when I don’t do a first round of editing the same day it gets messy. Or better yet, overwhelming. I came back from Thailand after a month with thousands of photos, probably hundreds that are total rubbish, others good, and some keepers I’m really …

Here I am, trying to make sense of a bunch of scattered notes written during my trip to Thailand. It was in Chiang Dao that I first started reflecting on my first year of taking photography seriously. Hard to believe, but it’s already been a year since I gifted myself a Fujifilm …

I came to Porto for a weekend with two goals in mind: (1) to have my first solo trip fully focused on photography, and (2) to allow some space for my mind to wander and reflect. I need space for reflection. I often make the mistake of obsessing over a question, continuously …

Editing and sequencing, especially when you want to tell a story through photos, is hard. And heartbreaking at times. I’m going through one of the final edits of the first issue of “Wandering Through Life”, a magazine dedicated to the places, lives, and stories I wander through. …

I took this pic while rushing to the train yesterday. I loved how the composition looked, the tube in the foreground giving depth, and the person in the background framed by the concrete and the cables surrounding them. My eyes snapped while the escalator was taking me away from …

Berlin is a second home to me. I lived there for eight years, and during this time, I loved the city, hated it and loved it again. I left since two years in favour of the warmer and sunnier Barcelona, but I still visit often for work reasons and to spend time with people I love. …

This is my entry for February’s IndieWeb carnival. – I think my first digital relationship was with the guy hosting this carnival, Manu. It was the result of a #followfriday - the good old days of Twitter. I’ve always been an in-person person, but this has shifted my needs with …

I always felt the urge to explore and express myself in several ways — mainly through words, music, photos and interactions. Through time, I experienced fluctuation between over-structuring full optional solutions (website, studio and digital cameras) to a more minimal and …

Today, we stumbled upon a culture clash during a conversation on Company North Star and Objective and Key Results (OKRs): pragmatic northern Europe vs the loose southern one. Living in Berlin for a considerable amount of years but coming from Italy, I consider myself a way in …

While taking a piano lesson yesterday I was asking why we repeat always chord of A or G and the answer is because we are “manipulated” by pop musica that are made mainly by those keys. And day by day we start to like it, and every new song will reinforce our taste. And then a …

What is reality? Is it the same for everyone? Is it my reality the same of my mom? Is it the same of my friend from my hometown? I’m thinking a lot about that after traveling for a week back in my hometown. Things that for me are crystal clear or part of the day by day, are not …

Yesterday talking about the German elections a question arose in my mind:

It happened again, yesterday while I was trying to solve some bureaucracy stuff the nice girl at the phone replied me “wir sind in Deutschland und wir sprechen nur Deutsch” that means “we are in Germany and we speak only German”. Every time I’m getting this reply I have a mix of …

Often people remember me as the one who always wears a smile. They say that I look like Buddha and they ask me how can that be possible. Smile is fundamental for me, it brings positive vibes to you and to everyone around you, even if they don’t notice it they are influenced by …

We co-founded Fattelo! remotely on 2011 and we keep up to work like this because of living in different cities. We are lucky, we are in a similar time zone so we can avoid the difficulties of a very different time zones. Since I moved to Berlin I extended this method of work to …

I was an engineer before becoming designer and for a long time I hated writing code, but now I feel so lucky because I finally understand that a designer and a coder can live safely in the same soul, and this stuff is very important as never before. You (Designer) have ever …
