Negli ultimi mesi ho lavorato a un grande progetto per celebrare i Cento Anni dell’Aeronautica Militare. Vi svelerò di più nei prossimi giorni, ma per un primo assaggio vi invito alla mia mostra organizzata con Leica Camera Italia e curata da Maurizio Beucci che si terrà dal 24 al 28 marzo presso il Leica Store Roma, a due passi da Piazza di Spagna (Via dei Due Macelli 57).
E per una chiacchierata insieme sul dietro le quinte del progetto e delle foto a terra e in volo, vi aspetto al talk di sabato 25 marzo alle ore 18.

Quando il primo numero di National Geographic Italia entrò in casa e arrivò sulla mia scrivania di studente al terzo anno di Liceo Classico, le tigri di Michael Nichols in copertina, i coralli del Mar Rosso di David Doubilet, il Nepal di Robert Caputo e la Beirut di Ed Kashi furono una folgorazione. Per un giovane appassionato di fotografia assetato di storie quale già ero allora, tutto ciò non poteva che apparire come un sogno. Era il febbraio del 1998.
Oggi che il febbraio è quello del 2023, l’edizione italiana di National Geographic compie 25 anni e celebra il suo traguardo con una copertina fatta di tante copertine, scelte tra le più significative di una storia lunga 300 mesi e scandita da altrettante uscite.
Ecco perché è per me una grande emozione ritrovare lì in mezzo anche quello di luglio 2017, quello con il mio reportage sull’astronauta Paolo Nespoli che a sessant’anni era pronto ad affrontare il suo terzo viaggio nello spazio. Storia nella storia, la rivista uscì solo pochi giorni prima del lancio, quando Nespoli era già a Baikonur, in Kazakistan, nel pieno della quarantena prevista prima di qualunque missione nello spazio. Con la complicità dell’ESA riuscii a recapitargli una copia della rivista che non solo arrivò a destinazione ma da lì intraprese un altro viaggio straordinario: insieme a Nespoli, lasciò prima la Terra a bordo della navicella Soyuz e poi fece il suo ingresso all’interno della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale.
C’è una foto che documenta tutto ciò: l’ha scattata Nespoli, e ha come sfondo la Terra.
Un sentito grazie alla redazione, interlocutrice complice e preziosa che ha creduto sin dall’inizio in questa storia: Marina Conti innanzitutto, il direttore Marco Cattaneo, Marco Pinna, Marella Ricci e l’instancabile Anna Maria Diodori.
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Dallara has been a fantastic and challenging journey: “1972-2022: Dallara, 50 portraits for 50 stories” is a courageous book because even if it tells the story of a car manufacturing company the protagonists are not cars but people. Fifty faces of men and women who, during the years, have made Dallara’s story… (read more - ENGLISH) / (leggi di più - ITALIANO)

On the occasion of Milan Design Week, Honda gave me the opportunity - together with other five photographers - to tell the city. The exhibition inspired by the values of the new e-Prototype has been inaugurated today at the Honda Experience in via Tortona 12 (Garden House) and you can visit it from Thursday till Sunday.
From the press release: “The challenge was to represent the six values that lie at the hearth of the Honda e-Prototype: simple, connected, friendly, unique, comfortable, soulful. The photographers’ different backgrounds and interests create fascinating diversity across their interpretations of each quality. You will experience the authentic and individual point of view of each artist and their personal representation of what the Honda e-Prototype can mean for the future”
