About me

About me

As an author and director, I focus on truly getting to know my film characters. With a background in linguistics and anthropology, I always had a fervent passion for learning new languages and cultures, driven by an urge to communicate and connect deeply with people. This intimate approach now defines my work in documentaries.

I am a huge fan of literature, from Homer’s Odyssey to the works of Hemingway and Kerouac. These books have defined my romantic approach to adventure and exploration. I aim to be a bridge between the creator and the audience, bringing stories to life with authenticity and depth. Nature is my greatest source of fulfillment, where my mind and spirit can create with ease

I want to be the ​eyes & voice of ​the people who are ​fighting to make ​our planet a better ​place

Writing

Writing

Writing is, for me, the most simple and effective way ​to arrive at people’s hearts. Because sometimes we ​just need a word, a lttle sentence to start a ​revolution. I have authored reportages and articles for renowned ​publications such as Grazia, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, ​GoldenRide etc. Through my writing, I strive to give a ​voice to extraordinary individuals and bring attention ​to the topics that matter most.
Expeditions

Expeditions & Adventure Travel

I  grew up in my dad’s expedition and adventure travel agency, AVVENTURASPORT  surrounded by paraglides, kayaks, and listening to stories of remote destinations. This is where I took my first steps into the adventure world, learning to love the unknown and discovering new places. I led my first expedition at 14—it was barely legal—and since then, I have never stopped exploring, searching, and taking people into the wildest areas of our beautiful planet. From Kyrgyzstan to the Kalahari, we have crafted the perfect adventure for companies and solo explorers.

Thank You !
