PO VALLEY IS MY PLAYGROUND
Thank you for being here!
My name is Paolo, I live in Lusurasco, a small town in the province of Piacenza in northern Italy.
I have been working artistically since the nineties as a musician/composer.

When I started wandering around with a camera to create short videos for my music live performances I never thought I'd soon be abandoning music completely in favor of photography, but this has happened! Everything for me revolves around this art, now this is my language.
I photograph what I am.
It's difficult to define the set of experiences, possibilities, feelings that drive me to capture and offer an image instead of a thousand others. And to tell you the truth I don't like to talk too much about my photographs because the set of personal background of the observer will necessarily lead to an interpretation different from mine despite the reality represented.

Only occasionally I leave home to photograph far-away places but my range of action is usually limited to the areas of Piacenza, Parma, Lodi and Cremona in particular near Po, the longest Italian river. This valley is often considered flat and unattractive, by the way it has smoothly grown in me becoming my personal playground.
