Biography
I am a Software Engineer born in 1972. I have an academic background at the University «La Sapienza» of Rome and in Ornithology with university studies on theses and texts from the «Cornell Lab University». Since 2010 I have been following the world of birds of prey with monitoring, projects and research as well as actively collaborating as a speaker at seminars and events promoting naturalistic themes. I wrote the volume «Rapaci», the first popular manual on the species of Italy, Europe and America. In my 20 years of photographic and ornithological work I have written dozens of books in the naturalistic field, among the latest releases: «Aquile, i grandi rapaci», «Uccelli» (2nd edition) and «Gran Sasso 110 Escursioni» (3rd edition). On the Gran Sasso I created the project «Birdwatching in Alta Quota» which takes place every year in Campo Imperatore. In 2016 I founded GRIFO and in 2021 I created «WildBirds Italia». I wrote the book "FOTOGRAFIA DIGITALE" (Digital Photography) in collaboration with OM System. Since 2006 I have been working as an editor, scientific communicator and professional photographer accredited by OM System, promoting systems and techniques in the field of nature photography.
Since 2023 I have been OM System Testimonial for Italy.
