Bio

Photographer and journalist.

For over 20  years, he has documented the reality behind news, social and sports events—from the training of Italian soldiers deployed to Iraq in  2004, to the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake; from the final days of Pope  John  Paul  II in  2005 to the 2008 U.S. presidential elections; and, more recently, the first suborbital mission of Virgin Galactic from Spaceport America in New  Mexico (USA) in  2023.

He also followed Italian astronaut Paolo  Nespoli’s training for National Geographic Italia. His project “Going to Space at  60” won several international awards and became the magazine’s July  2017 cover story. A copy of that issue later travelled to space with the astronaut himself.

Passionate about anything that moves fast—on wheels or wings—he has specialized in the automotive, aviation and space industries. He regularly contributes to leading international magazines and undertakes exclusive photographic work for the Italian Air Force. Over the years, he has logged several hours of flight as an onboard photographer in jets and military aircraft such as Eurofighter, MB‑339, M‑346, AMX, C‑27J, C‑130J, SF-260, HH‑3F, HH‑101, HH‑139 and others.

Among his special projects, he created the visual narratives for the official book commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Aeronautica  Militare, as well as the photography featured in the volumes celebrating 60 and 65 years of the Frecce Tricolori. He also curated the commemorative book for the 50th anniversary of Dallara Automobili.

Certified by Leica since  2019, he is also a photography educator at Leica  Akademie Italy.

Alessandro lives in Rome.
