This series was born from an idea of Simone Corallini and Patrizia Piscazzi (art director) and focuses on the female figure, enterprising and confident who faces the sea and life with her surf board. Surfing is not just a sport but a real lifestyle. We used to see surfing videos with men in the water catching the waves and women to the beach in bikinis, but that era is over and this project prove it. Our aim is also to highlight the natural places that we love, that fascinate us and that we must protect to safeguard our home, the Earth.

It was the summer 2019 when I met Tommaso, aka Lady Vivienne. I was looking for a new story that would allow me to affirm once again how important it is to protect the word "diversity", the meaning and the fight to affirm itself, to declare the own rights and independence. Biodiversity must be preserved in nature, otherwise everything is lost. We must to do it too, so the diversity no longer becomes a label but a confirmation. Not a word that divide but that create a unity. On his Instagram profile it says: “Lady Vivienne: the word describes a situation where the individual is sane but struggles against an illogical and insane bureaucracy or authority”. Why this title? A perfect storm is said to have created the perfect place. A planet called Theia is said to have created the moon when it collided with Earth. On a simple summer night, I told the story of a boy, that like Theia, crashed with society giving birth to Lady Vivienne. Theia - A Lady is born The idea was to represent Lady Vivienne in several location. Her home (room), in a club and in a third metaforical location (Luna Park). This one represents for me the place where "to do things you cannot do”. But most importantly, is a place full of lights like a starry sky, objects that spin like planets and where many characters wake up in the night. Where Theia is born.

Long-term project Dancing in the waves - lights and shadows. Ostia, a small Rome included in the X Municipality of the Capital. Ostia is known for the mafia and for the murder of Pasolini. A place that is only besieged in the summer. But behind all this, Ostia hides a pearl: surfing. In '80s /' 90s, the was very few surfers and used a string to the foot as a leash and wearing very heavy diving suits to enter the water, in any season of the year. So, we not just think about the beautiful days and the fantastic waves of the Oceanic coasts. From Ostia the surf is raw, it's cold but it also offers poetic and regenerating moments, if you know how to watch. With these pictures, with this project, I want to show the poetic part of surfing, where shadows and lights, characters and water move together creating a dance.

Nel Dicembre del 2020, con la mia compagna ci siamo trasferiti ad Ostia, cittadina che fa parte del X Municipio di Roma. Ho iniziato fin da subito ad esplorare ed osservare questo luogo del litorale romano, e sono rimasto abbagliato - come il luccichio del sole sulla superficie del mare - da alcuni dei suoi palazzi che si ergono impavidi sulla costa. Informandomi ho scoperto che il centro di Ostia è caratterizzato da costruzioni risalenti ai primi decenni del XX secolo. Durante il fascismo, si voleva recuperare questa spiaggia e darle il primato di “mare di Roma”, così si incoraggiò i più famosi nomi dell’architettura dell’epoca a condurre esperimenti di progettazione moderna (in particolare nella zona del lungomare).

With this photographic project I wanted to create dreamlike atmospheres. I was inspired by director David Lynch.
