Francesco was born in Aosta in 1986 and he’s based in Milan. After a bachelor’s degree in industrial design at the Politecnico University of Milan, he completely devoted himself to photography. After covering Italian news, he now works mainly on personal long-term projects, reportages, and editorials, always looking for a point of contact between his photojournalistic background and a strong interest in metaphors and symbolism. In 2016 he was selected by the British Journal of Photography in order to be part of “The Talent Issue: Ones to Watch” and in 2020 Francesco was shortlisted for the “Prix HSBC pour la Photographie”. In 2021 he’s been one of the nominees for the Leica Oskar Barnack Award. His pictures have been published in national and international magazines and newspapers including Washington Post, Financial Times, Le Monde, L’Espresso, Internazionale, Corriere della Sera, D La Repubblica, Sette, Wired, Gq, Die Welt, La Stampa, Rolling Stone, and his projects have been exhibited worldwide in collective and solo exhibitions. Francesco’s first book “The Flood”, published by Void, has been released in 2021.
