I was born in Siena and grew up in Poggibonsi, a little town close to Siena, Tuscany, Italy.
I got my first camera (a great automatic Yashica) when I was 8 and started taking picture 24h7. My first shoots were awful, but after the 10th film the result began to be quite acceptable.
When I was 20 I desired a reflex so badly that, when I realized I couldn't have a digital one, I took my father's old Nikon F-301 and felt in love with it. Once I've discovered it, I took my new analoguefriend everywhere and bought new mates for it.
